02 February 2008: Iraqi Groundhog Day

This time, it actually was Groundhog Day. It should be no surprise that the day was like just about any other day at Camp Liberty. The forecast? Six more weeks of winter is in store. The sky was crystal blue all day. Baghdad Bill, celebrated Iraqi Groundhog, saw his shadow surrounded by festive onlookers and random suicide bombers. He lived to see his shadow next year - or so I'm told. Hopefully, six more weeks of winter won't mean more cancelled flights.

The entire camp seems to be biding time until the Super Bowl. There was even cheap football decorations in the DFAC. I didn't see any flyers posted about gatherings, but I'm certain the MWR will have something. Kickoff isn't until 0200 so it's actually going to be Super Bowl Early Monday Morning. Sunday will just come and go.

Happy Birthday Peggi!
