Well quite an eventful day we had. Very nice lunch with all the fixings (and shrimp cocktail to boot). It was very good but not nearly as good as home cooking.... It was different being away for the first time.....
Then things got ugly. At about 4:40pm Ali Baba dropped about 20 rockets onto the area in less than 5 minutes. Everyone was in the bunkers. Surprisingly little major damage and only very minor wounds. Luckily they can't aim very well. The DFAC (Dining facility) had to be closed so no real dinner. Thankfully it wasn't nearer to 5pm as then there would have been lots people outside and that could have been real ugly.
Enough of that.....Friday is always quiet cause its the Iraqi religious day (like our Sundays)....reduced crew and basically Chip and I cover everything while the others are off. I get Sundays.....
Oh well - Only 25.71 days till I leave for home - yeppie.
Hope everyone had a GREAT TURKEY DAY...

Wednesday Day 121.87
Today I finally got moved into my very own trailer (again) - it's even bigger than the first one I had to move out of. A few pictures of the new digs - obviously I need decorating help 911.
Counting the days till I can leave for home (34.13) - not that I am EXACTLY tracking the hours and minutes.
We had a little fun with the Program Manager back in the states - he was always petrified to be here. Every little noise could send him scurrying to the bunker - so after he left I go the painter's to make a special place for him. His personal bunker......of course some how pictures found there way back to KY.
Other than this nothing much going on in Baghdad - except the usual car bombs, IED's, mortars and rockets- just another day in a city gone wild.
Be home soon - Bye all
