Our friend (CIB awardee and die-hard Red Sox fan) Mothax is on his way to return to Afghanistan - this time to blog for the American Legion's Burn Pit. Well, he's not really on his way, more like waiting after hurrying up for a bit...speculating on his trip: If I had my way it would be Bangor, Ireland, Turkey, Bishkek. The last is an almost certainty, while the first is the home of my family, Ireland is my ancestral home, and Incirlik has a surprisingly good Tiki bar near the airfield if I remember correctly. Either way, I figure on about a 28 hour flight. Got my laptop, but that will likely die fairly quickly unless there is an electricoutlet. Probably watch some reruns of Early Edition that I bought on Amazon a few weeks ago while in an Ambien haze. If I got tomorrow’s newspaper (like the protagonist in the show), I’d be torn between buying a winning lotto ticket and attending every Yankees game I knew they would lose... Be sure to check in on the Burn Pit to see his posts over the next month from Afghanistan.
