Weather Update

Well, the weather has been cooling off a bit lately. SPC Burnham, my room-mate and partner in crime, is majoring in Meteorology at UNL. Shortly after getting into country, he bought a weather station that is capable of reading the temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, wind direction and speed, dew point, cloud cover, etc. He tracks this on his own personal computer, and uses the data to determine weather patterns here in Iraq. He told me this morning that the low was 43.88 degrees Fahrenheit. Right now, (15:42) it is sitting at a comfortable 70.34 degrees Fahrenheit. Not too much rain lately, which is nice because that really cools it off here. Plus, whenever it rains, our HUMVEE's get all wet inside and we end up having to line the seats with plastic trash bags. I honestly prefer the dry 120 degree weather rather than the humid 80-90 degree weather. As I look around on base, I see more people wearing their winter PT (Physical Training) uniforms, and sometimes wearing their Goretex coats.
Happy Veteran's Day to all Veteran's and thank you for your service. I meant to post last night for Veteran's Day, but I ended up being pretty busy. I was even planning on catching the game, which aired at 23:30 (11:30 P.M.) but I fell asleep before the game had even started. My predictions were right though; get a good lead in the first half, blow it in the second but find a way to save the game at the last minute. That's how predictable we are. I think Callahan needs to get a new strategy, this isn't the NFL. It makes me a little nervous that we might be seeing Texas again because we haven't been playing impressive football the past few weeks. It is a little more comforting though seeing that K-State upset Texas. Let's just hope we can at least play a good game, and not embarrass ourselves. That's all I'm going to say about that. I usually don't get hyped up about the Husker's when they are in rough times.
The board is in two days, so be sure to check back for the results on the 14th or 15th. That's all I have for now.
