Almost Home..

Yup, by this time next week, I will breathing the sweet fresh air of Southern California. Hey, you think that the air in LA is bad, then try breathing this shit in Kabul, where 40-45% of the pollution is fecal matter, its like living in Mexico City, I'll take smog over shit any day of the week. Anyways, the trip will be long and won't go fast enough, but after only spending 8 days in my own house in the last 9 months, 2 weeks will be heaven. It truly takes being in a 3rd world shithole to appreciate what you have left. Abject poverty is no fun, neither are the explosions, gunfire, hostile locals, and myriad of other wonderful individuals that inhabit this planet they call Afghanistan. The SO's sister is marrying her boyfriend of 14-15 years this month, and they are expecting their first child, so all is not lost in the world. Can't wait to go home, just bursting at the seems to get the hell outta here.
