Okay...counting sand did not work...there's just too much sand to be counted here! But, hey, Jeremiah found a new form of entertainment, much educational not to say the least, viz the Armed Forces Network channels. Besides showing terrific American TV (bet you can't get MSU vs USC football on primetime in Singapore), the show also featured propagandish advertisements that in hindsight are really words of wisdom along the lines of (a) beating your children is not educating them, (b) if you are getting married, it's better to have an itemised will, (c) gambling is bad for your family and your military career, (d) Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice forbids behaviour that is disrespectful towards US Government Officials. Commissioned officers found to be disrepectful of the President will be subjected to disciplinary action and (e) you are an hero if you re-enlist.
Good god, I need my DVD player (cargo still stuck at airport after two weeks) now!

A New Lease (of Life)
Moved into my new apartment today..it's a nice, cozy apartment in a residential compound, i.e. a place that is out of bounds to the religious police and where life conforms more to international life.. Jeremiah is quite happy today because of that, and also because IJeremiah is going to Bahrain in a few days' time..yipee...for the record, Jeremiah just killed his first mosquito in the Middle East!
