Just When You Thought You'd Heard It All... There's Dr. AYC (ace)

I didn't have much to say tonight so I went to fresh blogs for a bit'o reading before retiring and found this gem, Iraq at a Glance If you think that what you see on the news is the truth about Iraq, read this guy's blog. New to Blogdom, Dr A.Y.C., is insightful, interesting, sincere and downright funny at times. A Dentist in Baghdad, he sees it all from the ridiculous to the sublime. I read his whole blog and from the "freedom" loving wrong way drivers, to the mixed up ultra religious types, to the thieving bums he chases out of his office, the narrative is a scream. I love this guy and want to have him over for dinner. I know our troops see a lot of mean people there in Iraq, but the good doctor gives me hope that the future will be better for these people.

The Mars pics today were stunning and I took some ribbing from people here that know that I have an axe to grind with the Hawaii Tribune Herald... They wanted to publish a story about our store and also wanted to tell the whole darn world where we, as owners, live. With all the druggies and thievery that goes on in East Hawaii, due to the "Ice" problem, that would have been like painting a target on my back. WE are not even the owners, but rather a corporation we set up is the true owner, so it was all a bunch of hogwash anyway... So I pulled the article and my advertising...

Oh well, now that I have given a full disclosure I will retire. Good Night one and all and may God save the Blog!
