Made it to Iraq

Well, for starters...it's definitely hotter than it was last time I was here!

If you'd like to experience the weather for yourself, try this little experiment that I think would replicate the conditions as they were today:
a. Turn up the heater in a room to 115 degrees (or just stick your head in an open oven)
b. Have 4 friends hold hairdryers about 10 inches from your face and turn the power on HI
c. Have another person throw sand in your face right in front of the hairdryers

Sounds like fun, huh?

Otherwise, things are going well so far.

Hope everyone at home is doing great!
