Is that what they call it over there? I don't think I'd call my dad to tell him I'd just done that...

Well, don't tell PG. She'll want one for her house.

Good to hear from JK2!

Petting a camel's toes gets you spit on.

Has congress provided funding for camel petting?

Glad to hear he made it safe and sound.

That must be one of the mobile SCUD launchers that bedeviled us in 1991.

Glad he could check in. Last I heard, he was in Kuwait, right?

Emails and IMs are great.

If I could offer you free advice-there's still no substitute for real letters and care packages. I tell all the families here and the units that are gearing up for redeployment.

I've been loyal to AT&T since they sponsored the only phone bank from the sand that I got near in '91.

Damn things were pretty erratic. You never knew if they were headed toward a real target or just miles and miles of empty sand. So, we shot Patriots at all of 'em we could.

Did he walk a mile to pet the camel? ;)

My best wishes for your son.
You may already know this but sometimes the post office has good deals on sending packages over there. My son in law is in Iraq, so we cant send anything at this time. Hes laying communication cable. Thats all we know.

Good to hear from JK2!nah, if i'm gonna have something that big that bites and spits, i'd rather have a llama. they're cuter and softer.

Also, there's not a lot of call for llama toe jokes.
