Is it quiet over there?
At the moment, it's quiet in this part of Baghdad.
When the quiet gets interrupted, it's always rather sudden. We've been experiencing that over the last few days. They've been a little active in this part of town.
I woke up at about 1:45 this morning (let's just say I had sucked down a lot of water before going to bed), and as I groped, still mostly asleep towards the bathroom, I heard a huge "BOOOM!" from somewhere nearby and my windows rattled real good.
I just muttered, "Knock it off, you bastards," washed my hands and went back to bed. Haven't heard what it was yet.
