I spent most of the day sauntering from one room with AC to the next, but it's a big base, so I did take a few half-mile hikes in the sun today.
It's about 20 degrees cooler up in the mountains. To prove that there is a difference between the mountain and desert ...
... here's a nice sky-eye view of exactly when this country turns from mountains to desert. It was really weird flying over and going from bumpy to flat in a matter of minutes.
There's a lot more of those heli pics when I get back. How'd I get such a good shot?
I was strapped in pretty good. But nobody tell mom, OK?

Uh, yeah, had all intentions of going back and reading your articles from the other day and all (mainly to find typos...lol) which I just finished reading...but, um...call your boss or something man...the second and third article show the pick you had posted, but for the Title and subject and authorand all, they all say:
Hacked by The_BeKiR .. Turkish Hacker
DUDE!?!?! What the flip is that all about?
Wow that's freaky. But on the plus side, if it's a slow news day you can just send them Hacked by The_Bekir....
i did a quick search and here's what i found. you're up there with other Berkir hacked sites like yale daily news: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Hacked+by+The_BeKiR&btnG=Google+Search
Now, beth has told me that the military has given you nice gifts. that's cool and all but remember when lester bangs sits the kid down in almost famous:
"Oh man, you made friends with 'em. See, friendship is the booze they feed you. They want you to get drunk on feeling like you belong. They make you feel cool. And hey. I met you. You are not cool. My advice to you. I know you think those guys are your friends. You wanna be a true friend to them? Be honest, and unmerciful...."
: )
In all seriousness, glad to hear you're having an awesome time. Although i'd never have the guts to do this, I wish i did.
Oh yeah, and I forgot something on those pics...did you see any Jawas or Sand People in dem there hills? And without clicking on the picture to zoom in, what ends up being a Chinook in the distance (the helicopter) almost looks like a speeder bike of some sort at first glance. I promise....no more Star Wars references for at least a week or two.
This guy was really roughing it. No cushion for his tushie! This guy is hardcore, don't mess with him. Especially don't walk up behind him while you're flying and yell Boo! to see if he'll jump out. I'd bet you'd find yourself flying out that open door.
Here's a crappy clip from the upcoming simpson's movie. rough. very rough. but thought you'd enjoy.
