050408 Crazy guy on a bike and Shorts

You ever wonder where those crazy guys riding a bike alone along a
road waving a Vietnam Veterans flag got started? Well, change
'Vietnam' to 'OIF' (Operation Iraqi Freedom) and you'll probably see
this guy (pic below) stateside within a few years.

You'd also think that with Iraq being so damn hot that more people
over here would wear shorts but that is not the case at all (at least
for one's work clothes). KBR does not allow its employees to wear
shorts (on work time) and and the military does not allow shorts in
any work uniform here but British, Australian and Italian do allow
shorts! The US military doesn't allow it due to 'cultural
sensitivities'. Most solders get around this by simply changing into
their PT uniform (shorts and a t shirt) while going to the PX, Burger
King, DFAC (dining facility), etc. The company I work for DOES allow
it. So shorts I wear!

Below also is a Gator logo that is pretty dern good. Behind it is a
guard tower. On the other side of the fence, local Iraqis grow
tomatoes and sunflowers.
