It's the third day of Ramadan, and the locals aren't supposed to eat or drink anything between 0500 and 1900, or as long as the sun is up. Smoking or chewing gum is no-no, too. Yet, as we were having our traditional Friday brunch today, which includes fried eggs, deep-fried everything, cheese, fruit, and the lot - our two interpreters present surprised everyone by coming into the dining hall and filling their plates with food. When they left the dining hall, carrying their delicious-looking brunch plates, they turned and said without flinching that they'll save the food for tonight. Yeah, RIGHT!
Nothing much happened today. The CO called and wanted an update on the situation in Samangan. He sent his greetings to everyone. I managed to get funding for an upcoming event. The provincial governor called us in the evening and told us some good news.
MOT E has switched to heavier equipment - they now move around with the 8-ton
RG-32 instead of the 4,5-ton MB280G.
