Snow

It finally snowed here. It was just a little bit, and it didn't even stick. But the mountains around us still have a little snow on them. It's going to be a mess here when it does start. Just a little rain makes this place a mud bath.

I got my visa for Australia, so I should be good to go. It'll be good to get out of the freezing cold and go to the warm beach. Although I'm thinking about opening a ski lodge here. I think there's definitely a market for it... somewhere.

Winter

It looks like winter is officially here, because it's really cold. It's been pretty busy because a lot of people have gone on leave. Not too much longer for me, and I'll be hanging out in Australia. Actually there's not a whole lot of time left on this deployment either, maybe four or five months. It should go by pretty quick. Other than that, it's been really quiet. It should stay that way for a while too.

Swine Flu

We recently receieved the swine flu vaccination. We'll see what happens. It seems like this is how zombie outbreaks start though. A vaccination is swiftly approved, the long term effects are unknown, and a massive vaccination policy happens. Who knows, but recently I've been feeling this... hunger...

Anyway, we never solved the mystery of the shower stall. Whoever was doing it, stopped. It'll probably be on unsolved mysteries on A&E because it was such a big deal. That's pretty cool at least.

Mystery

Something horrible and wrong has been happening the last few days here. Something so savage, so barbaric, that normal people won't even believe it.

Three days ago, a discovery was made in one of the showers stalls. Not just any shower stall, but the cleanest one with the hottest water. It was a... human turd. Why would a turd be in the shower? Who did this? Most people believed it was a local national, someone not familiar with what one is supposed to actually do in a shower versus in a bathroom. However, the plot thickens the next day...

The next morning, there's another one! How could it be? Is it a joke? No one knows...

And finally today, another one!! My personal theory is that it's a soldier. There's some really dirty people here, and it wouldn't surprise me if they were just lazy. It could be a local national, but they're the ones that have to clean it. So why would they do it? Hopefully, we'll solve this unsavory mystery soon. To be continued...

Really Cold

It's getting really cold now. I could see it snowing pretty soon. Otherwise not much new. We're having another mass exodus of people going on leave again so it probably will be busy this month. Which is good because after this month there's only December left before I go on leave.
The food here has been pretty bad lately, not sure why. Maybe I'm just getting tired of it. Although they did have breakfast served for all three meals the other day. I don't like eggs all that much, and after the third time having it I had enough eggs for the rest of the year.

Pictures

Here's some pictures:

November

It's already November! I think that's our halfway point. If it's not, oh well, I'll still say it is because it sounds good. I keep forgetting to bring my camera, but I'll post pictures soon. Not much else going on, just looking forward to January. One of the units here is leaving, and other just flew in to take their place. So it's pretty crowded.
