Coffee, tea, or rain gear?

Everything in this country is trying to kill me, as you know, except lightening, apparently. The thing that is supposed to try and kill me just passed overhead. After numerous attempts I was able to get one picture. Then I ran like hell.
It rained for two days. I did not bring any rain gear. We are in the desert and it's October. We are in the Northern hemisphere, so it is technically Fall, not Winter. Not the rainy season. I just pretended it was Hawaii and it would soon get warm and I would dry out.Turned on my slack key guitar music on the iPod and even had pineapple in the Difac. Didn't work. No hula girls, no beach, just sand. And I still looked like a drowned rat. I walked to the PX to get some rain gear. They didn't have any. Of course not, if you come here you would be issued rain gear. Which everybody but me was wearing. So I was a double drowned rat and walked back. A dumb ass double drowned rat. Listening to Bother Iz on his iPod. In the rain, pretending to be in Hawaii. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, he has lost his mind. Plus it's soggy, my brain that is.

One of the big advantages here, besides the fact that the food is way better, is that my chu is across from the clinic. And it's twice the size of my room at KAF. There is a tea pot there and tea bags. I have added Earl Grey and life is good. Except this morning when I forgot to take the key with me. I am now waiting for one of the Medics to wake up and have a need for coffee. I will nonchalantly walk in, say,"Good morning" and put on the kettle. Hard to wait. No one's up yet. Think they would mind if I casually yelled, "Rocket attack!" in their tent? "Oops, my bad. Never mind. Coffee anyone?"
