Email Blogging Fun!

Okay Everyone,

We are going to try something new. I am going to post to the blog via email so that we can get this frequency up and you have something to look forward to everyday!

I know. I know. Keep yourself calm. It’s exciting, but we have to see if it is going to work first. We’ll kick this off with a story.

So, as some of you know, I live in dorm style barracks, and we have communal showers. Now, this morning I awoke to discover that I did not have my hair and body was that I love so much. After much searching I assumed that I left is down at the showers and that it would be there waiting for me upon my arrival. I gathered my showering equipment, slipped on my sandals, and headed to the showers. Upon my arrival, I was faced with shock and disappointment. My Old Spice hair and body wash was nowhere to be found. My fellow dorm-mates have failed me. Someone had stolen my gel. People cannot be trusted, even with such sacred things. It is a sad and disappointing world.

Well, I had a bar of soap I snagged from one of the hotels, so I made due. It was not the same.

I haven’t felt clean all day.

-Pooh out.

Blocked

It just goes to show you....

After having informed everyone that I would be blogging again about my continued experiences here in Iraq, I stumbled upon a road block.

I was finally issued my working computer, and quickly discovered that Blogger is a blocked site within our network. While this fact does not preclude me from ever posting again, it does inhibit my frequency considerably.

Don't worry though, I will still hop onto this out of network system on occasion to post tidbits, and eventually I will purchase my own private computer with which to continue these festivities. Just be patient and keep checking in every once in a while.

For now I will leave you with this - Another great dust storm has hit the camp and it's just like I remember. As in, "I remember why I left the first time."

At least when it's dusty the sun isn't so bright. Gotta stay positive!

-Pooh out.
