Doing alright today I guess. The weather is getting cooler and it is almost hunting season. On a good note, I have less than three months to go before I come home. I came across a site today and felt it important to put it up for others to see. It is a listing of the Texas troops who have died in the wars. Hopefully none of you will know any of them, I was somewhat sad to see one that I served with before the war.

I know for those of you who know me I am one of the first people to pipe up about how good we are doing as far as casualties are concerned when the media likes to play on the fact that we are losing so many overseas. Hell, I am still waiting to hear the weekly report of how many soldiers LIVED through the week. Of course that is not good media and it damn sure doesn't sell papers. Oh well.
Usually the one to cheer up other troops when they are down, I have really felt like shit the past couple of days and am just ready to get the hell back home. Other than that things are going pretty good. Useless babbling. Anyway take a look at the site if you like, if not have a good day.
