On the news...

The crawl tells me there were more car bombs in Baghdad and that things continue to be rough on the Afghan border.

You know, since I've been back, I've felt like I'm on borrowed time. I was lucky and every day here is gravy. It makes wasted days really chafe, but the good things - man, I enjoy them.

God, I hope it's a good day for all the folks "over there." I know it probably won't be, but a gal can dream. Please, guys - be careful. Do the little things right. Make it back to the FOB in one piece.

Meanwhile, I'm going to dream up a reason for a little more top-down cruising in the sun, because I can. And yeah, I'm going to appreciate it.
