1/3

Today’s post is titled 1/3 because yesterday was 4 months since I have left home. I Have mixed feeling about the time. Part of me thinks it has gone by very fast and then when I look ahead it seems to have gone so slow. No matter what it’s a year and that’s a long time.

So yesterday and today were a little weird. We had clouds. I was walking to my office thinking how hot it was going to be and thought things looked odd. I took off my sunglasses and decided it wasn’t the dust in the air and then looked up and saw clouds. They were trying to block the sun but not quite getting the job done. It made things look weird though.

As much as I complain about the heat I much rather have it hot than cold. From what I have read about where we are going I am going to be in for a rude awakening. Ghazni is located in between Kabul and Kandahar on a high plateau. It sits at over 7000ft in the mountains. From what I have read it gets the most snow and the coldest weather in all of Afghanistan. Talk about extremes lol.

Not much else to report I have started growing the corn. My Aunt sent me some chia pots and I converted them to corn starter pots. The plants are doing well they are about 4 inches high. I have to water them as many as 4 times a day. I am hoping that I will have corn before I leave. I will take pictures soon and post.

Now I took a picture of a very interesting object the other day. There was much speculation as to what it was around the camp for about a week. I thought I would start a contest. I will think of a prize. I’m not going to give any hints to begin with. So scroll to the bottom and take a look and post a guess of what the item in the picture is. If no one gets it in a couple of days I will start to give out hints.

Later for now
