The Past Few Weeks
		Well, the past few weeks have given us a few surprises.  Everything from snow, to poker games, to being stuck on the side of the road in the middle of Mosul.  It has been quite interesting.
		Here we are.  Surprised as can be.  Middle of the desert and it snows...will wonders never cease?			I was going to bust out into a song from "It's a Wonderful Life", but there is too much testosterone here to even consider doing that.
		This is the view I had of Mosul just before driving into the heart of it on a mission.
					OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!  Disaster!!!  I didn't do it.  I swear.
		Hangin' out providing security.  The usual.
					You've got to be kidding me...goats on the Highway.  I just thought the smell was Ben.
		The one bright spot on the trip.  Seeing the reconstruction headed up by the US.  You won't see that reported in the news.
