Hot times

Ok...so it got up to 128 last week. I'm grateful in fact that it's 'only' 106 this week. I work nights, so I'm asleep during the hottest part of the day. Yup, that's me, "Fobbit"...one of those words that the military makes up...in case you've never heard it before, it means I never leave the FOB (Forward Operating Base).

So the other day...(stop reading if you're an animal lover)...we had the pigeon shoot here. I've never felt so bad for a pigeon. I was walking into work, and there were these guys with rifles of some sort (looked like air rifles, but what do I know)...I was like, "dude, careful where you aim that thing." They were shooting the pigeons. I can't figure why they were doing this...in general, I hate the pigeons...they're way too brave, and fly right up in your face. They're a plain nuisance, but really, is this completely necessary?

Anyway...my time is really limited, since I'm at work 70-80 hours a week, and I like to sleep. So this is a quick one today. I'm doing well...2 months down and 10 to go.
