What a day for security! I appologize for not taking my camera the first day because I saw some interesting things. There may not have been a camel or even an ancestor spider, but I did see some crazy activity out there. First of all, as soon as I got up into my post, I look to my 10 o'clock and see a rat, YES A RAT, the size of a mid-size CAT! I am not even exaggerating! The tail had to have been a foot long! I was so happy it was on the other side of the wall. I did have my ammo lock in my weapon but decided against having the whole security force by my side when they heard gun shots! Then a little bit later, a car drove by, they stopped, got out with all their garb on and the driver started walking straight out from his door and the passenger started walking straight out from his door. It was almost like they were counting their paces. Then they bent down and started digging in the dirty sand. You know me, I start freaking out in my stand. They were way far awa
y from me, so I knew I wasn't going to be harmed. Then they got up and drove off. WEIRD! I reported it, but apparently they do it all the time. Then for a different funny story. I was supposed to be in my stand over lunch, so a guy came and covered my post while I went to get my food. I had to come back and eat it in my stand. I got all the way back with it, got up in my seat, was just about to eat it when it fell off my lap. My lunch was ruined! Some of it landed on my warm shirt that I had taken off, so I considered it edible. Ketchup is all over my poly pro now. Oh well. I had eaten a HOOAH bar earlier. Don't worry family, I will be sending some of those home in the next package I think. After I got done with that particular shift in the stand, I was told that I am going home (to the tents) and I had the next day off! How great is that?!? I only ended up working a half day. Good deal. Hope you enjoyed my day! Have a great day!

P.S. Enough talk about me washing your cars when I get home because the pressure washers that we use make me stagger backwards everytime I squeeze the handle, and they'd blow the paint right off your cars (especially yours Ames!) AND Double A: That comment really made me crack up about the porta potties. Later.
