Update from Iraq

Talked to Doug today and all is well. Hot, but well. It hit 132 degrees yesterday. Makes Austin seem chilly! Just checked the weather in Baghdad and it was 115. Wonder why it is 20 degrees warmer near Hit?

He sends his thanks for all of the congrats, well wishes and packages! If he has not emailed you back, it may take a few weeks. His internet access is touch and go and when he is able to use it, they are restricted to 30 minutes. Hard to believe we are almost at the point where we can say I'll see you in less than 60 days!
