Finally in Kuwait

I am finally here in Kuwait. Nothing has changed since the last time I was here. Its still very hot, very sandy and smells like a porta-potty. The main differences between now and 2003 are that there is the internet and a lot of call centers. Also, the USO has a pretty nice tent/building for the soldiers. Other than that, it's pretty much as I remember it.

The wind has been pretty bad, it's been getting up to 40 mph. So with the sand and the heat it hasn't been too pleasant. If you are wondering what this all feels like, go buy the largest/strongest hair dryer you can find, get a handful of sand, hold your hand about 6 inches from your face and then turn the hair dryer on full blast. The hot air mixed with sand feels wonderful.
