I'm the village idiot, I don't have anything to do with this pathetic little opera, I just felt like passing through!
Day 123 I miss Camp Spearhead. Camp Spearhead had character. It had its own personality. Camp Patriot is still too new and has not yet developed a character of its own. I miss the old DFac at Camp Spearhead. It consisted of several large Fest tents connected together. In the main dining area, hanging from … Read more
Day 122 First, my apologies. I didn’t blog yesterday. Don’t know why. I guess I forgot though that seems hard to believe. Anyway… “…but things could be worse.” Where in the world does this saying come from? Talk about completely meaningless. If we work this statement out to its logical conclusion in, say, my situation. … Read more
Day 120 Why is it that the only thing the American Press thinks news worthy is when one of us dies over here (hardly news anymore) and when one of us does something reprehensible? I understand reporting reprehensible acts. I understand reporting on the death of Americans over here. What I don’t understand is why … Read more
Day 119 I hope that all of you will celebrate in some way the freedoms and liberties that you enjoy. Enjoy your families and friends. aloha

Day 117 I spent another 24 days up in the NAG. Different than the first time I was up there. The HMAS Stuart was there. I got to see friends and make a few new ones. Of course, it was nice to catch up on the latest in lives of RAN Runner (who’s picture is … Read more
I’m about ready to go to bed. I’ll have a blog entry to catch everyone up tomorrow night, my time. aloha
Day 91 It is really hot here. Like living in the drier on high. Today it was 114 degrees. I’m headed back to Survivor: TPE. Now that is has been made public, I can even say that I am going to the Northern Arabian Gulf (NAG) to an oil platform about 13 miles off the … Read more
Day 90 How the US government spends money from the military budget really irks me. Congress will spend billions of dollars to develop an aircraft that, by the time it is delivered to the forces that will actually use it in combat, will be out of date and near obsolete. Aegis class cruisers were just … Read more
