Sometimes, I surf through the "next blog" button on
Blogger's navbar just checking out what other
bloggers are up to. Usually, I get a bunch of nothing, but I happened across
Jake's Life, a
marine's blog about his current time serving in Iraq. I know several military families, but none who are serving in Iraq right now, so it was interesting to read through his blog and get a flavor for what the average soldier is going through.
Now comes the worst nightmare part. Apparently, there is something called a
camel spider that lives in Middle Eastern deserts. Can I just say that I would rather be in downtown
Baghdad, carrying a "Down With
Mohammed" sign, than be anywhere near this.

My heart would burst from sheer panic if I saw this scurrying towards me.
