Afghan Independence Day.
Yesterday was Afghan Independence Day, and things got a little bit heated here at Salerno. I’ll let the Associated Press do the honors.
Everyone I know is fine. I’m afraid I can’t say the same for the Khost Police Force folks who were guarding the gate.
It’s a strange feeling. I’m sitting here at my desk complaining about the interface of our new staff website, and less than a mile away, several people felt compelled to strap explosives to themselves and blow themselves up, killing several other people in the process.

Oy vey!! Well, you went to Afghanistan looking for adventure, and it sure as shit found you. Now that you’ve had your fun, you can come home. East Nashville looks like the Hamptons in comparison, huh?
