Happy 4th


Local paper here had a short story about what the 4th of July is to Americans. Read it while having breakfast at Ric's on a rare day off. Eggs, jalapenos, onions, cheese and tortilla strips all scrambled together and served with refried beans on the side. Huge black coffee. Finally bought the souvenier mug since I am heading into the home stretch here. After catching up with WaPo and Roll Call online (Dunc is getting Coulter's back - awesome), filled the camelback and took a long ride in the heat. First song on the Ipod was DMSR - reminded me of an 80's PS spring break when MT and I, with our purple-powered boom box, backed-up a Palm Canyon Drive mime that was being ignored because he had no tunes. Peddled down to the souq and practiced my traffic-dodging skills, then went to the base where they had a BBQ for the troops and an Arab Elvis performing. Friggin hilarious. Saw the "Queen" DVD because I have seen all the other new releases worth watching. Embarrased to say that it was comped "because your 13th rental is free." Good flick though - they killed a 14 point buck in it and Queenie went wheelin in a Land Rover.

I spent my 4th in the field shooting 120mm. Duncan owes Coulter. In a tv interview about two months ago she called him clearly the best republican candidate.
