FOB Smart at 1920 (7:20 p.m.)
Another long day draws to a close for me here in Qalat. I have a little more work left in me, but the morning rang early for me and I am, once again, a tired boy. Tomorrow will be a good day, as was today, yesterday, and beyond. I miss my family and friends terribly, but being here with the people who are here with me make the distance apart seem a little easier to manage.
I wonder what you are all doing right now. Sleeping for some, breakfast for others, and off to work yet more of you. It is strange being half a day away and 10,000+ miles to boot.
Today's excitement was a little unusual drama that unfolded locally on our FOB. People drama that is, not anything scary or dangerous, but interesting nevertheless. Even here in war-torn Afghanistan amongst my military and civilian counterparts I find that life, as we know it back home, is much of the same with regard to personality conflicts, dysfunctional events or conversations, etc. This was something I observed mind you, not participated in, and it is best to say that it involved several unrelated events. Again, think strange behaviors.
I wish you all well.
143, K&K.
Good night and good day.
