Feels like Hell
Another scorcher in the cradle of civilization 115 degrees and it is only May. I've just spent the last 3 days "full battle rattle" as they say here driving behind a diesel engine that pushes 220 degrees sometimes. I had my first closer than close call with an improvised grenade; went off five feet in front of my vehicle. We all cheered when we realized they fucking missed cause we could wiggle our toes. Wasn't as shaken up as I thought I might be but I've been in similar situations but nothing as close as this. Purchased the first book to "A Series of Unfortunate Events" and that will be my winding down entertainment for the day along with a couple of episodes of Dark Angel (season 2). Breathing the hot air and taking nothing for granted even the cigarette I'm about to smoke. Cause in retrospect life fucking rocks ear-splitting head-bangging whiplash Eddy Van Halen guitar. I'm just a groupie trying to get backstage for the lustmania drugged out party.
