isn't that ironic
I know one of the largest black market issues in America is CD and DVD "bootleg" copies. If I'm not mistaken you do just as much jail time for selling certain drugs. So can someone explain to me why I can buy every Disney movie ever made for 40 dollars...maybe 35 if I have good bargaining skills. I just find it amusing that some things are swept under the rug so to speak yet other things are blown way out of proportion. Alright, now you know the secret don't all bombard me @ once for DVDs. I've att. a pic of the elusive camel spider for your viewing pleasure. Just a quick story about another encounter i had with one back in 04', I was just standing in a wadi (a small valley, good for hiding your position) and one of my buddies pointed at something behind me, you the look someone gives you when your not sure if you should turn around or not but curiosity always gets the best of you, yeah.. that look. As I turn to acquire my target I see the little devil moving with my shadow, every time I move, it moves, so with out giving away our position I of course start running back and forth. Needless to say it never missed a beat. creepy to say the least! For the last couple of days the AC unit from 1985 has not been working (I wonder why) so we have to sleep on our sides because if we sleep on our backs sweat pools up in our eye sockets, so when we wake up our eyes are on fire! I don't know if anyone knew this but most Iraqi's sleep on their roofs, when they build their homes they put a small stairway leading to the roof. The roof keeps them about 15 to 20 degrees cooler at night. well I love you all, and to my precious wife stay positive and know I miss you more than words can describe. Until next time.

Sleeping on the roof....Hmmm. That seems really strange to me. Maybe they keep away from the camel spiders by doing that. It turns out we have something similar to the camel spider. They call it wind scorpion, sun spider, or solpugid and it ranges from Arizona to the Dakotas and into Canada. They look and act just like the camel spiders, but only get about three to four inches long.
We'll keep sending reading material with the hopes it can maybe give your mind a rest, even if just a little. Let us know if there is anything else we can send, and that goes for the rest of your guys, too. Maybe sponge balls for your eye sockets so you can sleep on your back? Take care, we miss you.
