Almost there

Greetings from Iraq! Made it to an airbase here. Lots of sand and heat. But there is still air conditioning. One thing that there is plenty of is food. You go to the chow hall and you can eat anything and everthing you want. It is free. For instance, breakfast today, if you got everything, would have been: scrambled eggs, ham, bacon, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, omelettes, eggs over easy, breakfast pizza, fruit, cereal, grits, various pastries, juices and coffee. It is amazing how things like that make your day.

I hear that where I am going, it will be hotter, and less tolerable in terms of food, so I am trying to enjoy every meal. I am well into my second book, and we are just sitting here waiting to be taken to the final destination. I will let you know the mailing address when I get there. Not much else to say. I am with a good bunch, and we intend to make the best of it. Be home in a jiffy.
