I am not a big fan of typing on laptops so I went to the Italian electronics store on Bastion and bought a keyboard. The last time I did this I bought one with the wrong plug. It was round and I needed a USB. I bought it from the French PX and they have a no refund policy. Vous Indélicates Bastards. So I was very careful this time. Even had the guy double check the plug. All is good. Brought it back to my office, plugged it in and, voila it worked. Until I tried to type. Using my practice of touch typing I was typing along and looked down only to find that the "quote" (") key and "at" (@) key had been switched. (Man that was hard..)
I have been down to Bastion Role 3 twice already. All very British and polite. Some American nurses. Very nice place. The British PX is behind it. All very civilized.
We had a big thunder and lightening storm last night. Being from KAF I figured it was rockets and was pissed. Until I peeked outside and saw the lightening. Stood outside and watched for awhile until I figured how dumb that was. Then I went to sleep in my metal building. I got up in the morning and plodded to the shower during the lightening. And rain. Hmmm are Crocks lightening proof?
"Mrs. Caplin your son was killed in Afghanistan."
"Was it a rocket attack?"
"No, ma'am"
"Insurgents?""Ground attack?"
"Um, no"
"He was on his way to the bathroom and was struck by lightening"
"My son is a dumb ass"
"Yes but he was doing what he loved"
"Sailing? Scottish Country dancing? Saving lives?"
"No ma'am, showering...."
