DAY - 98.45
Nearing the 100 day mark - sometime Wednesday. ONLY 57.55 days left till R & R (Heading home).
Rather eventful week - yea won at poker both times (practicing for the WSOP next year) that was good....hope that streak continues. Then Mr Ali Baba started his incoming on Wednesday night and I was relaxing on the bed (6:05pm)-half asleep. Boom Boom...near by and I jumped out of bed....well no one told me I wasn't a Ballet dancer so when I landed on Mr Left Big Toe- it not being properly trained to do that Toe stand thing (can't remember what the technical ballet term is)....so anyway it went CRACK and down I went. So NO technically I did NOT fall out of bed.....regardless of those nasty rumors. Yea, the toe broke at the base where it meets the foot bone....and of course one can't do much about that....except WHINE (now where's the cheese). Yes there are pictures but no - it's too ugly a sight to share (lol).... Good thing I'm in the desert cause my poor old foot would freeze in the states. On the positive side - I got to watch movies for two days in my trailer....but back at work today...well sorta.
Anyway enough of this realty show (or is it a Comedy) for now. Should be all healed by Dec 19th...I hope

Day 84.38 -- Columbus Day
Just another day in the wastelands. It was an eventful week some what - the Polish Ambassador was a patient after the bombing attempt on his life. He's OK. Ramadan (the religious month long holiday is almost over), then comes the 3 day feast thing. Ali Baba (the bad guys name) has been alot more active recently and will step up the incoming during the festival - go figure. Supposed to be a happy time yet lots will perish.
The picture's are of how we (not me-height issue) trim the palm trees....the guy shimmies up barefooted and cuts the stalks....then back down...these things are 50 ft high....NOT ME.
The other picture is a container of our hand soap....look closely - yep there is a bullet inside. When we opened a new case of this - it was all busted up. This bullet went through the warehouse roof and into the case. Ending up in this bottle of soap. We did a little CSI-ing and back tracked to find the hole in the roof - see TV watching helps in real world :-)
Only 71.61 days till I leave Amman, Jordan for Home - Yea. Can't wait to see everyone. Also should be interesting to visit Jerusalem and Petra, Jordan (Indy Jones and Crusade movie site).
Should have some great pictures after that.....
So on that note I will sign off -
