Goodbye Hazardous Waste Storage Area. You were the reason I came here. I've seen you grow so much over the last 10 months! I nursed you back into compliance and even installed an emergency eye wash so we could work safely together! I rearranged you countless times and swept the dust from you weekly. We were a great team....HWSA, you complete me.
Goodbye Rip It Energy Drinks! Feared by insurgents everywhere! What's even scarier than a heavily armed 19 year old who's totally wired on caffeine?? The fact that my daughter is getting her drivers license next month! Pay those insurance premiums.....
Goodbye $2 Cuban cigars! I've smoked one a day since I've been here. Anyone know a good dentist? My teeth be look'n a wee bit brown.
Goodbye big box of movies. There's about 5000 hours of movies in that box and I think I've seen 'em all. Except that box set of Friends--not sure how that got there--really!
Goodbye Hajji shops! I'm going to miss the outrageous prices you charge for cheap knock-off merchandise made in sweatshops by child laborers! Just like Kathie Lee!
Goodbye Salami in my fridge! We had some great times but I always resisted the urge to eat you. March 27 will be your first birthday (seriously!) and I'm gonna miss it. I knew we should have gotten you a passport so you could see the world!
Goodbye Shower/Urinal. You cleansed me and relieved me in an efficient manner, 'nuff said!
Goodbye boxes of milk that don't need to be refrigerated! What's up with that, anyway?? Fortified with enough vitamins and minerals to ensure a proper Jihad against the infidels!
And I'll miss you most of all, Scarecrow!!
Well, that's it for me, 16 months of working 12 hours every day in Iraq. It was a great ride thanks for reading along. I'll keep blogging when I get home, but until I get there I won't have any Internet access. Next stop, Houston. Well, actually Dubai.....OK, then Atlanta...but then...... TEXAS!
