Today is the day that my brother Charlie Macc heads over to Iraq for an 18 month tour outside of Baghdad. While my parents, brother and I are worried about him, he isn’t sweating it at all. He just has to “watch out for the occassional grenade or rocket flying into the camp”, as he told me in our last conversation. He’s a Light Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic (I forget the MOS number), so while he won’t be fighting like the infantry does, he is responsible for recovering vehicles that are left behind by other soldiers.

Next time any of you guys pray for something, I’d appreciate it if you mentioned him in it. I’d like to see my little brother come back to the States safely.

Bob Sarabia of Barf Barf Marina! contacted me shortly after I posted that story last week about Sara’s pic (You Make Kitty Scared) all over the net. He creditted me for the pic. That was pretty cool of him to do that, considering the fact that there was no way for him to know that the image originated from this site. The site he got it from had not creditted this site. Who knows who grabbed it first and started the mini-phenomenon?

All the same, I appreciate Bob doing that for me.

I picked up Steel Battalion: Line of Contact this Saturday that just passed. What a hell of a game. It is like I am waging war over a fictional island in real vertical tanks! The link will show you the monster controller that is needed to play this game. This’ll be taking up alot of my time.

My frat brother Elmo is out in Arizona with his wife and daughter. He sent me this link to an online photo album. I thought it was well done and would like to share.
