Yard Work

Well, this here is a picture of my lawn. Not the one back home, but the lawn that I have here in Iraq. It is about 1.5' by 2', and contained in the top of a shipping container. As you can see, it is very lush and green. It also feels great on bare feet. It requires 2-4 1L bottles of water a day.


However, with a great lawn comes great responsability. So, I decided to mow my lawn.

As you can see, it takes great care and skill to pull off a good yard trimming. With slow, deliberate movements, I expertly mowed my lawn.

Okay, so it is clear that I am no barber. This final picture is actually the finished product. But hey, the smell of fresh cut grass was amazing. You would be surprised how much you take something like that for granted. Oh, by the way, I bought a steak today at the PX. I am going to cut it up and use it for bait. I m hoping that blood in the water will bring the big fish in.
