111909 It's officialy the wet season

It's offically the rainy season in Iraq. What this means is that
we'll have 3-4 months of wet, cool weather. It might snow here (like
it did two years ago) but it's unlikely.
There are also many, many bases in Iraq all the way from Basra in the
south to Mosul in the North. But in Afghanistan there really are only
two and those are Kabul or Bagram in the north and Kandahar in the
south. I have a friend (another SQL DBA) at Kabul who is leaving in a
few months as his year-long contract is up and he's going back to
Kansas and the wife and kids (anyone looking for a SQL job and
adventture???)
He's sent me a few pics of what Kabul is like and as you can see it's
right up to the mountatins. The village is pretty poor looking and
at Kabul airbase, 'footprint' space is expensive so the showers are in
a trailer on top of the trailer where the toilets are located. In
Iraq,
space is not a problem.
