Working In The Trenches

The rains have stopped for now. And the sun has come out. Just in time too cause we were swimming in mud around here. Things have dried out around here and it's been pretty nice the last few days. I'm not sure how long it will last. The skies have grown grey and looked threatening a few times since. But haven't dumped water on us like it did before.

This place is really getting crowed. We're starting to have some of the replacement troops coming in and there are soldiers everywhere. The line for lunch at the dinning facility goes out the door and to the parking lot. It's crazy. We've never had that before. I hope that the wheels start turning soon and this clog will be cleared up.

Today we had to dig a trench. See our office phone service comes to us by a cord that is rolled out along the ground. Well last week some workers accidently cut our line. So we strung a new line and today we had to bury it. So we got the shovels and pics and we dug a trench for about 100 yards to bury the thing. I guess this is the forth time this has happened. I hope this is the last too.

Remember that blogger for a while back when we spent the whole day putting up some new barriars outside our trailers? Well the Mayor decided that he wants to change it again. They've given us a hint as to what there lasted idea is, we'll see when they actually come through and implement it. It's just a little frustrating when you spent a day and put our back into something and it's undone so quickly and easily.
