Wednesday??

Wednesday..... well I made it through most of the day thinking it was Tuesday. How does that happen, well the days really do run together, I don't have any other explanation.

Today I had to take the Colonel into town. We went with 6 other HMMWVs and even had to take an unexpected detour. There was a traffic jam in front of us. We don't stop so we made a u-turn and went another way. Our Detour made me a bit nervous because the first thing that runs through your mind, is was this done on purpose. We know the enemy tactics for the msot part and they aren't that well organized but you have to be on the edge. I was driving today and had fun being aggressive. There really is no feeling like flying through the city streets with everyone diving out of the way and if you don't you make them. It's not an ego thing it's a safety thing. If you don't forse them then they might do something to get your buddy. All the same it's a pretty big rush.

So we got the COL to his spot and the Polish General was also with us. We gave away some ambulances to the hospital and then we got out of there.

All in all it was an uneventful trip but thats the way we like them.

The other night I was eating dinner, and of course there is the usual shenanigans that go on. People get up to get something to find thier drink missing or soemthing like that. On occasion whole cheesecake slices get swiped if you arent careful. Well bob was sitting across the table but down a seat or two just out of my reach. He had been taunting me about going to get some cheesecake and wasn't going to get me any. When he came back I made the long reach to stab a piece of cheesecake. He intercepted me and disarmed me of my fork he then proceeded to snap my plastic fork on the table and toss it on my tray. It was all done very nonchalantly (i know i spelled that wrong) I then pulled out my sppon and finished my salad.

It was all too funny.

Later for now,

Brent
