Back in Iraq

Well I made it back to Diyala province! Everything is very dry and hot! A stark contrast to the flooding going on back home. For the past few days it has been 115 or hotter, for anyone who wants to know what that's like, preheat you oven for 20 minutes then open the door and stick your head in!

With as dry and barren as it can be over here, it is amazing what water can do. This is a picture of how green things can be if you have water. This piece of ground is surrounded by barren dirt, but it is lush and green.

Hey Brewster, don't forget to have a happy Independance Day. I'll bet it means a little more now than before! And make sure you put on sunscreen - you could peel!
