Wow - Doc put up a whole big list of links to MilBloggers in Iraq. (And their wives at home.)
And today Dave gives us some photos of something I dreaded almost as much as rocket attacks.
Update: It occurs to me that some readers probably don't realize that it rains in Iraq. Weather systems move in from the Med from time to time, and at times the rain is heavy (obviously). The dusty, sandy ground turns to a pasty substance that sticks and clumped in your boots, and generally life gets a bit more miserable.
Without looking at a weather report I'll guess it's getting hot there now too. Most folks don't realize that at latitude 30 north Baghdad actually gets fairly cold in winter, with lows around freezing (yes, I know, in Minnesota that ain't cold) and highs barely out of the 40s.
Bottom line is that the image of Iraq as a hot desert isn't completely true, as Dave has so aptly shown.
