13 January 2007, I'm back. Where did I go? Well, I'll tell you. It started yesterday afternoon when we received word that a security company based in Kabul had a convoy south of Kabul that had been hit by a vehicle bomb. We had dispatched a section to go check it out, but by the time they got there it had already turned dark, and they came back. They were set to go out again this morning to recover the vehicle that had been hit, and I was sent along to....well, to investigate the scene. We arrived and found that the vehicle had been moved off to the side of the road. After checking the area to make sure it was safe, I began taking pictures and some measurements. We finally got both vehicles loaded up on the back of a flat bed and returned to base camp. The security company only had one injured person and that was minor, and the driver of the suicide vehicle died. This attack was unusual in several ways, but we won't be discussing that.
It was just nice to get out of the office and I went to a new part of the country I hadn't been to before. I did get cold, and am still trying to warm back up.

I was tagged by Just Me at Simple Me, the tag is simply name 5 things people didn't know about me.
1. I have the nickname of 'Wrong Way' by both the police department and the military, but I only miss it by a block.
2. If I watch scary movies by myself, I usually have a lot of lights on in the house.
3. I work better off the cuff than prepared.
4. When I was in elementary school I learned how to write with my left hand, just in case I ever broke my right arm.
5. I attempted to join the Army in 1991 during Desert Storm.
I'll post a couple more pictures tomorrow and let you know how I did at poker tonight. Be safe and have a good day.
