Chris in Iraq

Wednesday, August 30, 2006

Yesterday sucked. Three camps got attacked (including Tallil) and a bus was ambused in the morning and one guy killed. We only spent about 30 mintues in the bunker however but it's dang hot outside.

What is a pogue? (sp pog, pough) Instead of giving change the military gives out change in pogues (see the pic below.) If your change is for 2 cents, they round down and for 3 cents they round up so there are no penny pogues but only 5, 10 and 25 cent pogues. There are no penny pogues and frankly it's only a matter of time before the penny disappears in the states as well. Some pogues have become a collectors item as well and you can find them on ebay. Celebrities are also on pogues and below you can find Bush sr., JFK and Elvis below.






I've sent these pogues to Marsha. She may want the Elvis one as she collects Elvis stuff and then maybe she'll give them to her students at school.
