Well, after a couple of days of flying, I'm back in the desert...again.....at lovely Al Dhafra AB, UAE. I'd almost forgotten how lovely the desert is. NOT.

Anyhow, I should have email up in a day or so, so my compadres will be hearing from me soon.

Keep up the chatter about the impending Polkfest, it's one of the things that I'm looking forward to when I get back....

    I spent some time in Dammam/Dahran Saudi Arabia. Ugliest desert I've ever seen.

    Thanks for the well wishes, guys.....my apologies for not saying good bye to anyone before I left but with my dad and brother in law and so forth, things were pretty hectic before I left. The upshot is that everyone is doing well and this is only a 90 day rotation so it will go by pretty quickly.

    90 days? Only 90 days? I'm outta here headed south man. Where'd you leave the remote and the rum? Any chance you got a new recliner? That last one made my back hurt.

    Great to hear everthings ok. Did you remember to pack your sunblock?

    I'd keep close tabs on that Mr. Grand of the Jersey Grands. I only live about a mile off exit 2 of the NJ Turnpike, and I just got a whiff of Brylcream and bad rum....

    It may not be Iraq, but it ain't his backyard either. His wife's medical condition is a hardship if he has to go somewhere OVERNIGHT! Chill indeed.

    Well, George, sorry to say that the chair is the same but there are two bottles of Appleton's Estate rum in the liquor cabinet, that should dull the pain somewhat. You know where everything else is. What a pal.

    Desert is desert is desert. I've been to Iraq, Qatar, Oman and UAE and have learned a couple of immutable facts, they are all too friggin hot and too friggin sandy. Sleeping in a tent with seven other guys smells like foot and **** regardless of location.

    As I said, the upshot is it's only 90 days. That's not even enough time to get the Brylcreme smell out of the pillow cases.

    Thift shops? The Charleston AFB thrift shop and the Community Thift shop on Rivers Ave next to the Red Cross building......that's where I find all my stuff...

    What a great guy! Thanks!

    You get used to the smell on the pillows after awhile.
