Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.

The next strangest thing....

Hello All,

Remember when I said, I wonder what will happen next? Maybe pigs will fly!" Well oinkers aren't soaring, but this morning we have FOG. You know that I'm not a morning person, but this shook me awake. It's kinda creepy how the moisture holds in all the sound and figures just emerge from the gray haze, and I'm really liking it. It hasn't gotten muggy, yet, so right now I'm going for a walk and enjoy the coolness (on more than one level) of the morning.

I love you all,

Will

Can't wait to hear when you're getting back home Will, I have been observing the overall tone in your posts and it has slowly gone a little down hill.......I hope things wrap up for you soon. Take care.

Enjoy that spooky fog Will...

we actually got that from time to time even here in Tucson and it IS funky...but very interesting. Driving sucks in it though.

Well, I'm off to take my son to the zoo...tomorrow school starts again, so until next I write/respond/vent, take care and I hope you enjoy your walk.

Will & J

What will happen next? Maybe pigs will fly to the other man!
Because of J have been leaving me alone for a long time.
His ship due to come back, I was waiting for a 7 months, but I cannot appreciate he wants to see me. I don't know why, right, we are not near but I want his call even he is a senior chief busy, even in intelligence section. If he can't, he must say good bye to me. Don't say love me. Will, How do you feel? I think I am not suitable for him.

We get that all the time here in S. Cal. Glad it's given you a touch of cool air. Enjoy!

Glad to hear you've caught a break on the weather (if only for a few minutes, anyway). Can't wait till you and your's can come home. And, by the way, THANK YOU for the excellent job that you're doing over there in the sandbox. We really do appreciate it. Remember, 99% (if not more) of the media is crapola. We support you 150% !!

Will-

I know you are busy beyond belief but if you are not too shy and have access to phone you can go to audblog.com and post a free audio message to your blog.

Just for the halibut.

For me, the fog tends to soften everything around the edges - sort of a quieting filter. I love to drive country roads in that soupy stuff - and it brings the smell of the earth with it as well! Hope it brings some of that to you as well as relief from the heat.

Keep your chin up - maybe think of this as one of those character building times in your life (tho it sounds like you're quite the character as it is! lol)

Take care and know that support is ever present for you and the rest of the troops - we may not be as vocal but we are here solidly behind you!

Hi Will,
Glad the weather got a little nicer for you all. Sounds kinda cool. I would never have pictured fog over there, but like you said, pretty strange. Could be a good omen that things will keep improving, and you'll hear something about when you get to come home. Hang in there, and stay safe.

hope you die.

Will, the oinkers were probably grounded due to bad visibility. :) If you do see them soaring, just don't look up too long! Hope things stay cool there, in all respects.
Take care!

PS. Looks like some of that fog settled into other empty cavities...

Will-You and all of the Americans that are over there are in our prayers and thoughts. I hope you all come home safe and soon. Thanks for keeping us posted on some of the interesting things going over there. Enjoy the not so sweltering hot weather for as long as it lasts.

I was just told about this site and it's great. I can't wait until a book comes out. Reading your "stories" has me laughing because they are soooo true. I've shared some of them with the soldiers in my Reserve unit. Hopefully, we can all go home soon. Send the fog north. We got the humidity but no fog. Maybe they would cancel pt if we got fog. Then again, maybe not.

chris, our fog was not socal fog. it was 90+ degree fog.

More like a steamroom.

Posted by: Kevin on August 17, 2003 03:54 PM

when i lived in york township years ago, the fog used to layer my back yard..... sometimes deer had hopped the fence to sleep out there for the night and i'd see them moving around quietly at 4;30 am when i got up to get ready for work... i sit in the kitchen, sipping coffee, awed by the silence and nature....

where i live now, fog rarely happens and when it does it's not so far as pretty ... probably because it holds the smoke against the ground from my idiot neighbors who burn trash, fireplaces and wood stoves in the midst of summer heat. go figure...

but glad you have some of this stuff there. a friend in israel tells me it's humid there right now... hope it cools down for you all soon.

Who's Will Anyway?
What's All This Then?
As most of the regular readers of Rooba.net know, I have a few friends that have been sent or called up for the soon-to-be-conflict in Iraq. One such friend is Will aka Will not weasel or Will from Omaha or whatever other moniker he's using on my site that day.

Will is a pretty good writer and this is the collection of his writings. It'll be interesting to hear updates from a soldier's point of view, so I'll be posting them for all to read.

Take care Will
