I'm at another camp for a few days. Camp Scania is about half way to Baghdad and it's a little cooler here (it's only 109 outside) but there are date palm trees here and patches of grass. Very little grows at Tallil unless there is irrigation. It takes a day to get here because we have to meet up with a military convoy and we stopped twice for possible IEDs on the road. We stopped at one place where a convoy was hit last week and two contractors were killed by an IED. I'm here since an employee 'lost it' last week and medical sent her home to 'seek further medical attention.' Now that I'm here I'm getting more of the story and evidently she and a fireman we're 'involved' and he dumped her and she didn't take it well. Now she was not looker to begin with and 'bi-polar' comes to mind when I think about her record. When she was here she received 'desert points' due to the low femal/male ratio but that probably wasnt' enough for Fireman Reyes and well... such is life.
