Tut, tut, looks like rain.

Holy shit. I can't believe it's been almost a month since my last post. I hope this whole deployment goes that quickly. Seems like last week I sat down and wrote in this thing. How can someone be so completely bored and yet so busy at the same time?
Well, it's wintertime in Iraq, so that means we're firmly entrenched in the rainy season. Now guess what that really means. Mud! Lots of mud. And not normal mud like you would find in the US. I say this because normally in the US we find mud where dirt used to be. However, here in lovely Iraq... there's dirt everywhere. So what does that mean during the rainy season? That's right, mud everywhere. All the dust that lays like an old dog on everything turns into a slop with the consistency of baby shit. So I've got that going for me for the next few months, which is nice. At least when there is plenty of water that's one less thing for them to kill each other over. Although that leaves no shortage of viable reasons to blow shit up. Or shoot at each other for that matter. Bring on the rain.
