No Smoke Without Heaters

This Tuesday turned out to be easy. I didn't join any patrols, although both the PO and MOT E were out. Instead I stayed at the safe house, cleaned my quarters and went to the gym. I even had time to watch a movie, when the day's administrative duties were done. In the afternoon the gentlemen from OCCP came over to collect some more heaters from our yard. There wasn't room for all of them in the police car, so they ordered some zarangs to come and help with the transport. This is what that looked like:





The temperature was below zero in the morning. Once the smog from the thousands of chimneys of the city had cleared, the weather was really bright for once. You could see the snow-covered mountains more than 60 kilometres away. The sun soon warmed up the air to a pleasant 15 degrees. I guess that's why tomatoes can grow wild in our yard.



In the evening we had invited the chiefs of NDS and ANP to dinner. We ate well and talked for almost two hours. I know now more about Samangan, Taleban and Afghanistan than I knew yesterday, or more than I have ever known.
