Tough to update the blog these days. Just got to my home for the next year in N. Iraq, and internet time is scarce. Get 25 minutes of terminal time, after waiting in line. Took 3 minutes just to get this open.
Was raining when we got here; very sticky mud. Although it has quit, it's still kind of muddy. I'm housed in a 1 person containerized room; pretty nice, all in all. Bathrooms and showers leave quite a bit to be desired. Chow is pretty much the same, but greater selection of drinks.
Haven't set up my office yet, and won't for a while. The unit we relieve is still here for a while, and space is tight.
At night can count 6 fires on the horizon. Some are natural gas flaming off oil wells. A couple are oil well fires; kind of an eerie glow to the night sky. In the day, see plumes of smoke all around us, and can smell petroleum in the air.
