Time and TV

Time...where does it go. I'm kinda glad that time is flying by. But I still can't believe where the week went. I was so busy today that I even missed lunch and dinner, ME missing food but I have to tell you I got some food and goodies today so I munched on that stuff all day and night.

We get tv over here with no commericial so that part is good, but with 2 channels we have to watch what we get. It's a tv station run by the US and they have to manage all different types of programming to fit the needs of all different types of viewing tastes. But the frustrating part is that the news is old, the sporting events are old and outdated. I do like how they show Jay Leno from the night before, then the next show is David Letterman, so that combination in a row works great for me because I like both shows.

On the war front, we did a great job of bombing this place 14 years ago. The part of my job is to try to put this place back into shape so that the Iraqis can use this place eventually I think. But it's amazing how precise we placed bombs in the right places. Like if you have intersecting taxiways the bomb crater is right in the center of the intersection effectively taking out both taxiways. Precise bombing certainly can save lifes. I think overall we are doing some good work over here when it comes to the locals regardless of what you read in the paper. I know that the press must make it interesting for the readers but I've seen and lived a different version of the events that make the paper, especially when it comes to building the infrastructure that never really existed. So ??? Believe what you want. And that is that.
