Stories #8 and #9

Keeping Iraqis honest at the pump

Troops prep for Ramadhan

The main pic for the gas story is on the web site's front page for the moment (and on the front of the print edition; about time I did something good enough for that). It'll probably be a few days before I get anything else in, since I'm gonna be moving again in a few hours.

Captn
I heard that Saudi Arabia has gas for 80 some cents a gallon. Maybe Iraq should import some.
We went bowling with the Garrity (HJ) and Garrity (JD) clans. Kate made a 4-7-10 split. That's a pretty good one. I had a ball bounce out of the gutter and knock down 5 pins. Of course, I planned it that way. Bumper bowling looked like fun but they wouldn't let me use that lane. I think that bowling after Beth & Tom's wedding will be VERY interesting.
Phils earned a split with the Cubs. I consider that a success. Eagles coming up on Sunday. Someone in the FFL stole Deshawn out from under me. We're enjoying the stories. We don't get this point of view in the general press. Keep them coming.

We had a good time bowling with the Shanes and the HJ Garritys.
I reinforced my affirmation to be a 'pin-pacifist'. Singlehandly, I managed to save the lives of many pins and still 'spared' few of them. I'm afraid of the post wedding bowling. I am horrible..lol


The Phillies are onto the Nationals. Hopefully they can take advantage of them and improve their chances.

The stories have been good. Cover story too, excellent.

School starts tomorrow for our kids. This is always a fun day for all.
Stay safe.

Sorry that you don't like the cell phone service: it must be a lot like our phone service (not to be named!) here, esp the service in the Poconos. Hope that you are doing well. Only 20 more days.
