It's been about 10 days since I have been back in the good 'ol United States...and let me tell ya...not to sound like Dorothy, but "There's No Place Like Home!"

It's so good to be back on familiar ground...to see places that I know! You don't understand how nice it is to see a Wal-Mart or a Gas Station...McDonalds, City Buses, expressways...just the things that we take for granted on a daily basis!

Again, it's sooo good to be back!

Yep...just purchased her last week. Can't ride like I want to of course...since it's Winter and it's pretty nasty outside right now. But that's okay. gives me time to make changes to her so that when it's nice outside, I can ride on my very own bike...different from the others. I've included a few pics for your enjoyment!

That's it...all I have left in Iraw is 7 more days. Can't wait to get back on US soil. I can look back now and say that time has went by fast, but 6 months ago...my story would've been very different! I'm can pretty much say that I am happy to have had the opportunity to serve in Iraw, but it's not something that I would be eager to do again.

But again...it's almost time to go home!

No, this doesn't involve murders, or theft...shooting or drugs or anything like that (well, could have been murder...depending on the outcome). But come on...let's be real! Why in the hell would you want to run 140 mph on public highways. A place where you could easily in an instant destroy the lives of so many innocent people around you...not to mention yourself and/or your family. Speeds such as these...

Man...I guess the Wii has started a new revolution. I would love to get my hands on this device. And depeending on price and availability...I'm going to get one:

If you thought your Spouse goes nuts with the credit cards...think again. The deep pockets of Uncle Sam are deeper than ever (except on the homefront is seems). Here a few "pulls" from the internet I found interesting:

- U.S. Monthly Spending in Iraq - $12 billion in 2008
- Lost & Unaccounted for in Iraq - $9 billion of US taxpayers' money and $549.7 milion in spare parts shipped in 2004 to US contractors. Also, per ABC News, 190,000 guns, including 110,000 AK-47...

For those who have been, or are just now looking for a Real Man's Truck...I found it!!!

You know, recent hostilities in the world has brought to the forefront an "invasion" of Georgia (South Ossetia) by Russian forces. Yet another complication in this already off balanced world we live in.

Now, to the point of this post. Being in Iraq workign with Coalition forces has allowed me to mingle with Military/Civilian personnel from all over the world. The Brits, Italians, Australians, Japanese and individuals from the Georgian Army. This beings a question to mind,...
