Thanks sir, I'm glad you're still with us.<BR/><BR/>He writes. . .<BR/><BR/>Nice. One additional thing to worry about...one spring night I came back to my hootch in Baghdad, un-harnessed my gear, and went for a "download." I was, well, relaxing and noticed a small object on the floor directly between my feet.

A minute earlier with my business and I might have taken my last trip to the latrine.<BR/><BR/>Keep safe<BR/>V/r<BR/>Lt. Col.
