i'm still here
i know i haven't been posting very often, but there's honestly not much going on.
i'm still sick, but i seem to be getting a little better- just a head cold, sore throat, fever.
it's about 1am here, and it's still 90 degrees. things are heating up.
no attacks yet today. the insurgents have been pretty active in the last few days, and we've taken quite a few hits this week. it seems like they always attack right when i want to go to bed. i have to get dressed and walk all the way to the rec center to call my shop for accountability after the 'all clear'. one of our guys got wounded the other day, but he was out of the hospital in a few hours. he was in a vehicle, and someone was standing behind him to help him back out. a mortar hit on the left side of the vehicle and wounded the driver, so the spotter ran to the right side of the vehicle. another mortar then hit near the right side of the vehicle. man, sometimes it just isn't your day. both guys are alright now.
when i was in qatar, a scottish guy named bill told me that life in balad was just like the movie 'groundhog day' (you know, with bill murray). boy was he right.
