Your meaning of fireworks and ours is just a little bit different, but yesterday was very quiet. No rockets red glare. No bombs bursting in clinic. Just a killer barbecue put on by Dyncorp following the pre-fourth barbecue put on by OHS to introduce us to the new big wigs from Dyncorp. So food and mucky mucks for our fourth. Hey free food is free food. Oh, wait all of our food is free. But this was good food. We now we return you to our regular dfac menu. I went to the the french PX for breakfast, which was closed and the British dfac for lunch and had traditional british fare. I'm a rebel, what can I say? One if by land and two if by sausage roll. Here's me and Bill at the banquet:note the reflective belts. The height of KAF fashion. He is out of here in a couple of days to do R and R relief at Leatherneck then he is off to Kuwait to cover there. He says that he likes to travel. So travel he will. In Kuwait he gets his own apartment and car. No poo pond, no rocket attacks. Plus his wife can come visit him. Must be tough. Then he'll come back to the reality of KAF. But we all deserve a break. So good on ya. I will miss having him in clinic, it helps a lot with the work load.
We now have the added critter of the paederus beetle. You smoosh it against your skin and it secretes and acid like substance that causes a 3 inch welt on your skin. "they release pederin, a vesicant/blister agent, when crushed" We have had one of those so far. So the score is snakes one, bugs one. I think I'd rather take my chance with the Taliban. I want to change the alarm announcements," Snake...attack........bug .....attack......Ewwwwww"
