"I don't think we are in Kansas anymore, Toto"


Well I left arguably the newest most modern city on the planet at 9AM (we are 9.5 hours ahead of ET) Wednesday and arrived in Kandahar Air Base (KAF), Kandahar, Afghanistan at 11:15 local time (1:45 Flight time).

Afghanistan reminds me of Fred Flintstones' home of Bedrock. Lots of gravel, rock, gravily earth tones and the locals live in gravel/rock houses without indoor plumbing, etc.

I will be posting items from time to time and I have the first picture taken from my new Nikon D60 camera. The picture is at our RECON Camp site which includes offices and living areas on KAF. Its basic living here with public restrooms and showers. Shown here is Albert Jacobs, one of our engineering managers from South Africa and Richard Thompson, our top engineer at KAF from the UK.

More to come ...
