Adjusting

I have a green sheet above my bed so the beetles dont leave sawdust all over my bed when im sleeping. they like eating that wood!

It feels like my previous forts as a child were better built than this shack, but i guess its still a roof over my head.

speaking of heads, the bathrooms are great. just kidding, there arent any. just some port-a-johns that compete for the worst shitters in the world. for a split second i almost thought i was at coachella..i wish.

showers are a few min down the road. far enough for me to stay dirty for an extra day or two. it doesn't help that the water is permanently stuck at absolute zero.

weather here sucks too. too cold at night and too hazy and dusty during the day. they do have some great mountains, too bad they can't use them for tourism. imagine skiing down a black diamond and getting blown to bits cause of some old soviet mine or rocket. now thats a challenging slope. apparently, the snow lasts until june. pretty impressive.

food here is okay.long lines and lots of fried stuff that I don't even eat in the states. burger king and pizza hut are finally leaving at the end of the month so i better hurry quick and order a whopper and some pepperoni pizza.

lots of the locals clean up the chow hall and do work around the base. wonder how much the military pays them. also lots of third world nationals that work for contractors making the food and doing other things.

This base is a real stimulus package.
