For those of you that don't recall "Concerning Hobbits" is the first chapter in bilbo's LOTR.. :) And the title is one of my attempts at being witty. Somehow I think I failed again.. :( oh well..
It was a most memorable six days out. I got to ride in the back of the bradley (a little tank with passenger space in the back) for a couple hours each day. (if that "thing" didn't rattle so much that I couldn't sleep I might have liked it more.) that was coupled with a nice little stroll visiting our neighbors in the area for a couple hours each day. Then I took a guard shift for two hours which I sat there and watched them all making sure they didn't get too close or do anything funny, then I got to burn all the Crap every other day.. And yes, it's just as much "Fun" as it sounds like and almost as Yucky...
Anyways, I got to read an entire book, watch movies and sleep the entire rest of the time.. It was a nice little vacation.. One night, I couldn't sleep so I read using a red light so as not to wake everyone up. Then when I stepped outside and with the moon as bright as it was it looked as bright as if the sun was up. It even looked blue... Odd..
Oh, and thankfully it's really been cooling off.. Today was a cool 95* and the nights.. Brrr.. they're now a freezing 80* After months of 110+ it's nice..
Nadia. I watched your wedding movie today.. I don't know who I got the copy from but it was cool to see Perla, Titus, Mom, Dad, and the rest of y'all even if it was just a movie.. I'd had a nightmare dream that Dad of all people joined one of the contractor companies over here and moved Mom over here so they could keep a closer eye on me.. "now why would that not SHOCK me.. It sounds a lot like something he would do, being as spontaneous as he's always been. So everyone make sure you call him and convince him to be sure he never does something like that.. And Mom, you'd better not let him do something crazy like that. I just hope it wasn't a warning of something that might have been going through his mind....
Before I left to come over here. Dad was Noble enough to offer to take my place.. Thinking back now, I think I would have liked to take him up on his offer.. But I think it's easier being over here myself then it would be to have to worry bout someone else being over here in my place..
Anyhow, I'm back for the next 4 days or so.. Just got a couple missions each day to go out on.. Nothing that'll keep me out all day though.. so, I should be writing more soon. (assuming the internet doesn't go down again)
Love y'all a bunch... check back tomorrow I'll have something less drawn out and boring as this last blog... I was AFK (away from Keyboard) for a week so I had a lot of nonsense to talk about. Tomorrow not so..

I sent it with a bunch of other movies. Did you watch them all? Did you get that head light?
Oh, and I can't figure how you ever guessed your dad's plans! We were going to surprise you! Foiled again!
