Well he is in country now and not settled quite yet probably another week or so. He did get to call and he sounds ok. He expressed his aw of the country because of the history. He said "MOM these are the same sands that Moses and bunch of other holy guys walked on" I said yes you are correct. There are alot of landmarks there that he said just bring alot of emotion to him, when he thinks of how old they are and what they stand for. Guess all those years of CCD/Religious Ed, DID sink in he also told me about some of the Mortar Fire that they hear and FEEL but he said that they are well protected. He told me alot of other things that I can't talk about publicly on the internet just enough to get me concerned but he is doing well. When he calls as much as I love hearing his voice it also brings tears to my eyes but the sense of grounding I feel is alot better than not knowing what is going on, although I am sure he keeps somethings to himself. It was 100 degrees in the shade the day he called and he said he use to think South Carolina was bad but THIS IS MUCH WORSE The urban legends about the Camel Spiders were put the rest to. NO THEY DO NOT EAT THE STOMACHS OUT OF CAMELS NO THEY DO NOT JUMP, and NO THEY DO NOT RUN 30 MILES AND HOUR They do deliver one heck of a bite and yes you might wake up with one on your head but it's because they want your hair to build their nests I said keep you head shaved and you should be OK Gross looking things but not as Sci Fi like as first thought. Andy told him they use to play with them, a much smaller version of course, when they were in Arizona they use to mess around with them alot. BOYS MUST PLAY HEY
