Today there was another dust storm. It was predicted but we didn’t expect what blew in. If you remember 5 years ago when U.S. forces were first moving into Iraq during the invasion. There was a huge dust storm that shut down the advance for about 3 days. The news footage was pretty incredible. You could barely see the correspondents give their reports. Well, that’s the kind of dust storm that blew in today.
It was hot and breezy one minute then a few minutes later visibility was cut down to ¼ mile. It shut us down. Now we wait. It’s supposed to stay this way tomorrow too then eventually clear up so we can get back to 100% operations. Right now we limit some of our over-the-road traveling for safety reasons.
Temperatures are getting up there too. Its springtime and temps are already hitting 100 degrees everyday. We have a thermometer that goes to 120. I’m afraid that won’t be robust enough since I’m sure it will start to ‘peg-out’ next month. I should have brought a thermometer that goes to 140. That might be more appropriate.
More later.
SABER 2, out.

Hi Nephew,
Sure hope they give you good ear plugs with all that sand blowing. Grandpa & Grandma said your pictures looked like it use to be out her on the farm, way back when.
Sure glad you made it safely to your new location. I have you and all the service men in my prayers. You keep that Angel on your shoulders while you are over there.
Love Always Aunt Sharlene oxoxo
