Wedding Explosion

One of our guards had invited us to his brother's wedding. It was in Aibak, so we decided to go. Having been to two wedding parties already, I thought that it would be someone else's turn, and asked the second in command to lead the patrol. I stayed in and tried to take it easy, but today, just like last Friday, unexpected events disturbed my peace. In the morning we got a phone call about an explosion outside the city last night. Two locals had been killed in the blast, so we thought that it would be best to go to the site to take a look. The patrol to the wedding party got the job, as they were already preparing to go. The police and the NDS had already collected the evidence and the locals had cleaned most of the blast debris.

Apart from doing some physical exercise in the morning, I was mostly occupied with administrative duties. Of course, there was some time to relax, too. After all, it was Friday.


The dove's chicks outside the main entrance are growing incredibly quickly.


Did I mention that in every American MRE package there is a cute mini-bottle of Tabasco?
