30 Seconds of Fame

I saw some impressive fireworks here yesterday. These fireworks aren't the type you see back home and you certainly don't want to be too close either. You can see the explosion then feel the shock wave hit you a few seconds later. Way cool. Only a few people knew this was gonna happen so I took my camera. I used the movie position and filmed the whole thing. Way cool. The day was jammed packed with visitors, Fox News is here as well as HBO so when I said I was going to bed at 2:00 in the afternoon yesterday, it was good timing. I was able to take a real combat nap in my vest and helmet while people were playing war outside my hooch. It's funny how you can sleep when so much is going on outside. And the vest gets to be quite comfortable when you use it as a prop. But when you take the vest off, you are nearly soaking wet. Our helmet is hot too and it makes our hair look funny. But it has saved people before when things bounce off the helmet. I think I'll be wearing mine.

I started this post 14 hours ago early this morning and got busy and well....thank goodness I don't have a deadline. Like I said Fox News has been here for a few days and they wanted people to get on tv and say howdy to people back home. And during one of the live telecasts, we got attacked and the Fox News guys had to break, but the bad part was people scrambled. So the Public Affairs people asked people to come out after the attack and fill up the tent and get on tv. So for the good of television I went and was asked a few questions. I didn't expect the question he asked me and I think I flubbed it, but who cares. The one I got on was taped for broadcast tonight, 4 Jul between 5-6 East Coast Time. So for you Phoenix people, subtract 3 hours. Enjoy your independence day. That is that.
