Insurgents blow up bridge between Baghdad and oil city

I can guess what JT will be doing in the coming weeks.

BTW, the bridges here are still unrepaired. The government doesn't have enough resources to get the job done quickly and too much was damaged. It will be a long time before things return to normal. What used to be a short five minute trip through town can take as much as 45 minutes or longer these days. A standard question when planning social activities is "what side of the bridges do you live on?"

I take it JT is doing well?

Is he on the down-side of his deployment?

I am happy to see/hear you are coming “home” for a spell.
