Don't think so - I'm in Maryland and am not familiar with Binney's.

THE LATEST FROM MY KID: (abbreviated):

"hey, what's happening-Glad to hear the fish tank is coming along so well. Looking back, it was probably that monster koi I had that screwed everything up in the first place. probably some kind of algae contamination or something. That's too bad grandma isn't doing so well. I'll make it a point to give her a call on mother's day sometime.You know, mentioning this breakfast you have planned reminds me of a delicacy i had not so long ago. I think i mentioned we went on a couple of lizard hunts.. well, what i don't think i mentioned was that we had ourselves a good old fashioned tail fry out at the K-crossing. They were a little gamey, kind of like chicken mixed with seafood. I had never eaten a reptile before of course, but it wasn't a bad first experience. The second time somebody brought along some 1000 island marinade sauce & some texas pete hot sauce which helped greatly. And you know, the food tasted better knowing that i had caught it myself ;-)

Yes, the weather has been getting steadily hotter. Kuwait City & Basra are roughly the same distance from camp ********, give or take 30 miles or so, and every day i check the stars & stripes for the weather forecast. Today was something like 113 in both locations. Add to that the fact that camp ******** is prolly a little bit warmer, being that Kuwait city & basra are both on the water, whereas we are smack in the middle of the desert. That all adds up to a very warm day indeed. It really isn't THAT bad though.. especially considering that even if it averages at 130 this summer, that's not even another 20 degrees. definitely bearable. It is of course a dry heat too, which helps immeasurably. You don't even get really sweaty because as soon as you start, it evaporates off into the dry air. It's really like being in a sauna, and that's supposed to be soothing, right?!?!? right.

Hydration hasn't been a major problem yet since we don't really do anything. On air mission days we just make sure everyone drinks enough and that covers it. I haven't had to stick anyone [Editor's note: insert an IV tube]for any legitimate reason yet.. just for fun. [Editor's note: I hope he's kidding.;^)]"

"Alright, i think that covers it. Well, talk to y'all later-" [Editor's note: he never said "y'all" before spending so much time in TX & MS.:)

Thanks, ML, for the latest on Ev's "adventure", doing his part to protect all of us. A tail fry.............????? I'll pass, thank you. Good to hear that all is well and going forward one day at a time. Head high, Proud Mom.

I'm still catching up on yesterday, too.......how is the finger in a splint? Trying to break it off is not a good thing.

It's a pain (literally & figuratively.)

I'm supposed to play a 2-hour rehearsal tomorrow. We'll see.
