Proof of work, part 24

New road could lead to new industry for one village

No, I didn't get a chance to see the blue marble. They may have been making it up.

people seemed concerned when i didn't post yesterday so i thought i should give an update. i'm doing pretty well over here in churchville. i'm in the 'save zone' now, which is also known as 'my parents' basement.' turns out i've been in the safe zone for nearly 30 years. so you don't have to worry, i'm out of the woods. i'd offer some proof of work, but to be honest, i've done nary a thing in months except inhale, exhale, and i'll assume this here post will suffice as proof of that. thank you for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. it's been a trying time for me and my family - i mean it was like over 90 last week, and we downgraded from standard cable to basic. whew. but the heat spell is over and we've tapped into the neighbors cablebox, so we're really coming around the bend. with you all behind me, i think i'll make it. bless you.

seriously, leo. i know you'll be bored for nine days in germany, but we're all glad you're in a safer place. boring=good. i mean, most people go through their whole lives bored. At least you managed to have a few exciting weeks. Now they just have to last you the next 40 years because, honestly, i don't think jo's gonna let you out of your driveway from here on out. not that fort awesome is boring. squirrels are CRAZY!!!

i had a dream you were home (and fully clothed) last night. we sat down and you told me abotu how you were 'in the (ship high in transit!).' actually, you didn't. but you should use that phrase at least once when you get home. And by once, i mean per sentence.

your family misses you. yesterday they put me in hair extentions and made me recite eagles statistics before then cutting my hair to look like a 5 year old boyscout and telling me how different i looked. It really has to stop.

Quinn obviously needs his drugs straightened out. Hope that he bought the new sneakers he needs for his trip today, otherwise, boogersnotts will be cranky.

Ha ha...silly Quinn...now I'm gonna have this image of Tom in extensions and pigtails and a little scout uniform stuck in my head.

Hey Joanna, make sure you get some lobster tail and keep it on stand-by in the freezer...you know, just in case Leo wakes up in the middle of the night having flashbacks of when he was "in country"...

Um, yeah, before Leo has a chance to update his entry, this is what the title read before it got changed:

"No, I didn't get a chacne to see the blue marble."

My question is...what is a chacne? Is that some scary form of acne you can only get in the desert? Or is it a nickname for a pair of military binoculars? Just curious...seems like your new computer is falling apart and will self destruct by the time you get back to Germany. Safe trip either way man.

Am I the only one who noticed this:

Maj. Don Johnson, team leader of the Parwan PRT, said the new work should keep the route from flooding out, and locals have gone beyond what U.S. officials asked for in the project, recognizing its importance to the area.

That poor guy. I can only imagine how badly he was teased about 20 years ago.

And, major dingus, have no fear, it appears that cap'n hasn't quite figured out how to edit his blog posts . . . or use his spell checker.

chacne for president!

I don't know what y'all are talking about. I didn't make any spelling mistakes. Go back to the post and see for yourself.
