Monkeying Around

Here's a post for Luke. One of the Afghani workers on our FB has a pet monkey (no Luke, you may not have a pet monkey). He brought it to work the other day.

I'm not sure what kind of monkey it is....I'm no "Jeffco" after all (that's a joke that probably only Luke will get). But it was still interesting to watch. The little thing was pretty mean. It was nice if you had food in your hand.

But if you ran out of food, woe be unto you...as Doc found out about 2 seconds after I snapped this picture. It grabbed his hand and tried to eat him for lunch.

Hope

I took this picture the other day while we were at the ABP headquarters. I thought it was a little poignant.




Things are still very quiet out here. I haven't been blogging for a number of reasons. First, our internet connection has been pretty crappy and connections have been off and on. Second, there really isn't anything too interesting to me anymore. I've seen it...been there...done that. So, if you all have anything that you want to see about Afghanistan, make your requests. If the law, Afghan culture, and my SOPs allow, I'll fill them as I can.

And now ladies and gentlemen, the gripping conclusion.....



The guys in the white hats always win.

Because it's there....Part IV

Our hero is getting closer to heaven with every step...physically and metaphorically. He's so close to the top, he can smell it.....and it smells like sweaty body armor.



Can he make it?!? Will he require a CASEVAC?!? Will there be a T-shirt at the top?!? Tune in next week for the gripping conclusion!!!

Because it's there...Part III

...meanwhile back at the ranch, has our hero met his match? Let's find out...




Tune in next week when our hero mistakenly thinks he's near the top.
