Driving around the IZ in Baghdad

This is the UNISEX bathroom on the third floor balcony. I feel sorry for any females that go in there. Its really small the doors on the stalls hit the hand washing sink. I know guys that can't shut the stall door their knees get in the way.

Jim Taylor came in the other day and we took some pictures and drove around the IZ abit. The Cross Swords are out at Saddam's old parade grounds. One of the hands is missing. I had heard that the swords were going to be demoed There are allot of Iraqi soldiers around we did not get out of the SUV. I have new picture click on the link New IZ pictures. Jim took some nice pictures. I have been yelled at for taking pictures so I am a little shy about it.

Another dusty day in the Middle East

Well, I guess its Summer now with all the dust storms that will bring. The insurgents like to throw an IDF over the wall during dust storms. IDF stands for Indirect Fire which means rockets and mortars. It is easier for them to elude coalition forces during a dust storm. It is still pretty quite as far as IDFs are concerned. I have 167 days until my flight home which I am calling The Freedom Flight.
