That's right -- I'm over the hump. It's all downhill from here. I marked this momentous day by surviving another sandstorm. Here are some pictures . . .
This is Al Faw Palace - the location of the Army HQ in Iraq. My office is near the shore of this lake.
This is how it looked today in a sandstorm. At midday, everything was orange - like being in a weird sci-fi movie. You could feel the dirt sticking to the inside of your nose with every inhale. Nasty, nasty stuff.

The other way I celebrated being halfway was by sending all my cold weather gear home. One large box stuffed with uniform jackets, long underwear, thermal tops, etc. It's been in the 90's the last two days, so I guess winter is over.

Wish I was over.

89 days to go.
