    He thanks you.

    Also, he found his orders: 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment, Vilseck, Germany! Oh, Yeaaaaahhhhh...

    Strykers...and they went to Iraq last month. So he'll go eventually, to catch up with 'em, but it's a WAY shorter tour than the rest of the regiment. AWESOME...

    This is the best news I could've hoped for.

    By the way, he looks GREAT.

    Had a look on Virtual Earth..Vilseck is a very small town and I'd be suprised they can get a Cavalry Unit in there It's in Bavaria, not far from Nuremberg or Munich. Let's hope he gets some skiing in Austria prior to an inpending Tour of Iraq.

    I was manning the grill and making kava bowls so I had neither the time, nor eventually, the hand-eye coordination (you gotta sample your wares before release - hic! - ) to manage something as complicated as a camera.

    Which is kindof a bummer.

    The recipe is kinda hazy.

    But I do remember needing a Pyrex measuring cup for the rum.

    It involved a helluva lot of rum.

    Not to mention that Dale was doing a whole lot more "sampling" than distributing.
