Snow=Slow

It is actually difficult to navigate to this page so I can add in a new post. The Google server I use over here is German therefore half my time is me clicking random German words on the screen hoping that they will take me to the right site for adding a new blog. Yesterday morning around 5am it began to snow here at FOB Shank and did not stop until nightfall. It was a wet snow and actually made great snow balls. The first snow is just like the first snow everywhere else. People are happy and playful etc. I attempted to make snow angels on some roofs which proved difficult but attainable. After the giddiness of the first snow passed, the FOB focused on finding out the glitches in the "winterizing" process which involved some failing generators, card board walk ways, and figuring out who was responsible in clearing off the airfield. The Apache pilots who were on night shift made a snow man with a cigar before it was even day light. They also are currently showing me up with their light display. The Apache pilots tend to be a little rowdy. I turned on my Christmas music and tried to get my medics in the Christmas spirit. Mom's smell good pine cones helped but the aroma was dampered by one of my medics who constantly smokes and smells like it. I rudely remind her that she smells...and only feel bad about it for an instant. We are planning on doing a dirty santa exchange party for christmas. MAJ Baumgartner likes to call it nasty santa....just to annoy me. I don't know what we will give. I guess I will have to make a special trip to the West side of the FOB to find something. They have much better Hajdi stores. Apparently, someone here declared this month Mustache month so all the men are growing mustaches. I think it is hilarious because they all look like creepy policemen/pedifiles.
