The gods must be angry.

In fact they must be pissed because I was hit by several drops of moisture falling from the sky as I walked into the chow hall this morning. Dave, mentioned that it is called rain which I vaguely recall. We looked up on the internet and this area gets .1" of rain per year in September. I guess that's what makes it fall because it's still 114 degrees. Not exactly football weather.
People are promising it get's cold and that their is no intermediary cool enjoyable period between searing and freezing. That just figures. This deal just keeps getting better. Is it any wonder that the Arabs have so many problems. Everything that lives here is ticked off. Camel spiders, scorpions,....well, that it. OK, so not much is stupid enough to live here but the things that occupy this hell are pretty unhappy.
But, not me. I continue to be in good spirits. We workout, do our jobs, and make the most of the opportunities we have for fun. We mock everything that annoys us and refuse to complain. In fact if you complain, you will be mocked for that.
