FOB Smart at 1430 - Friday
The days and weeks seemingly pass by in an instant, although the time in between seems, at times, to linger longer than the soul can bear at times. At least when thinking in terms of how much we may miss you all back home. For me, the time here is rewarding and altogether exciting; however, missing my son also leaves its mark on my soul.
My project on the FOB is really coming along well now. The workers appear to be diligently coursing through the requirements and the new arrivals of heavy equipment make the project seem a little more familiar, as opposed to the typical hand-digging and laborers sculpting the ground like hoards of beasts toiling away uncontrolled in farm fields. These workers, in fact all the workers I encounter, are predominantly unskilled, but they works their hearts and bodies out every day. It is enriching to see them work so hard, but it is also nice to see them be given a break and let the heavy equipment do what they are intended to perform - the hardest of excavating and earth moving.
The mornings and evenings are really cooling down and the days in between a little cooler with each passing. I long for the fires burning in my brother's fireplace this coming Christmas and the time I imagine we'll spend with our family in Las Cruces, New Mexico. This time of year is always enjoyable. Next week is Thanksgiving and we here at FOB Smart are looking forward to a traditional Thanksgiving meal complete with roast turkey and all the trimmings.
143, Kaesen.
Good night and good day.
