Hilla reflections...

It is very dusty and I ruined my dark suit trying to clean my dust filled office while wearing it, and there is no dry cleaning here, unlike Baghdad.

This place is soooo dusty.

My trailer is in an area where there are no lights, so I can't see a thing at night. Kind of freaky.

Had my first armored vehicle sortie today to attend the Provincial Council session. Met the Governor later in the day while hosting a meeting for visiting Gen. Cardone.

This place takes some adjusting. I am trying not to gain weight. Started exercising today.
