The Lone Star Rifles Have Been Heard From

I feel special. Finally heard from some of my pards from Co L 1st Texas. They have a valid reason for not writing after all. I forgot most of the pards from Old Virginny and the realm of King Bob sovereign Lord of North Carolina are still trying to dig out from Hurricane Isabel. I allowed myself to forget how much damage was done. My Bride and I fared extremely well only a few thousand federal greenbacks in damage. Most folks the damage was in the 10s of thousands of dollars. Keep the faith pards. Still haven't heard from the boys from Galveston, I will have to drop Major Fred and Sgt Jeff a note.

I also seem to be having difficulty with the fonts on this site. No reason that I can determine why everything went bold face on me. I just tried to make the last post wishing our little green brethren of the Corps a happy 278th B-day boldface and wham bam... The whole website is bolded. I don't think anyone really understands the logic behind these infernal machines. They run off of black magic and voodoo.

Had a really fun day today trying to get some critical aircraft parts through local customs. I just can't get my boss to understand that this is a third world country and then you through Ramadan in on top of it and the speed at which the local bureaucrats operate slows almost to the point of reverse. The appropriate nautical term is maintaining steerage way. The only course of action left to us was to draw a circle on the wall, repetively bang our heads against and hope the parts get cleared through customs. It's time to go. The Marines are throwing a hootenany tonight and I wanna go watch em get drunk an stupid. Where's the 28th Virginia with their homemade popskull when you need them!
