Summer Heat in Iraq

It's warming up here in California - especially here in the high desert where we are already in the 90's - supposed to be 98 today! Thankfully we are still in the 60's at night!

Whenever I think about complaining about the heat - I check the temperature in Iraq where my son Ben is...

Right now, it's 9 pm and it's 102 degrees (supposed to be 114 tomorrow!)! Sometime during the evening it will get down to 88 degrees.

At least we can dress for the warm weather and most of us have A/C. There is A/C there in the larger camps but when the soldiers are out working with the Iraqi Police or on patrol there is no A/C. I can't even begin to imagine how they do it with the uniform, the flak vest and all the gear they have to carry.

Take care of yourself Ben - we love you and miss you so much!
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!
