Howdy, esteemed lady! Are things there in the” Sandbox” as quiet as they have been reported to be lately?

Things are pretty quiet. I've almost forgotten how to dive into a bomb shelter. And I wear my body armor so rarely, it's now a nuisance when I have to. :) The markets, the streets, the cafes and the parks are all hives of activity now and contruction is going on everywhere. Baghdad is coming back.
Al Qaeda pulls the odd stunt out in town every now and then just to let us know they're still around, but these have become few and far between.
Anbar Province, once the most violent place in Iraq is very peaceful now. The Marines there in Fallujah and Ramadi are bored to tears.
It's so calm now that I'm going to come home in a couple of weeks for a three-week leave just to get some excitement. :-D
