Good idea. And, since I got upcountry a month ago and can walk the route(s) from my hootch to the flight line blindfolded (*not* a good idea with all the MRAPs rolling through the area), I'll cover things from this end...]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/frago_010308.html#comment-70974 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/frago_010308.html#comment-70974 Fri, 21 Mar 2008 03:02:05 -0600 i STILL say it looks like a BTR-60 target. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/frago_010308.html#comment-70962 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/frago_010308.html#comment-70962 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:19:24 -0600 Oh, maybe Bill can share the interest in thongs as a way to keep the rest occupied and outta trouble...naaaah.

Disaster looms. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/frago_010308.html#comment-70954 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/frago_010308.html#comment-70954 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 11:30:58 -0600
