Capt O'Brien in Iraq part II

[roque_riojas]

Here are some new pictures of me here in Iraq. If tere was something else to take pictures around here I would post them, but now that you've seen the Burger King, you've just about seen it all.

As Thoreau wrote in Walden, "I should not talk so much about myself if there were anybody else whom I knew as well." Same goes for pictures, yes?

 

 

This is me in a sandstorm yesterday. It actually got darker and oranger as the day went on.

 

 

Here's me enjoying a stogie with some of the fellows.

cAPT. I REMEMBER MY FIRST STOGIE, WINTER OF '43, MOUNTAINS OF ITALY, RIDING IN A JEEP

WINDSHIELD DOWN AND MY BUDDY SAW THAT MY FACE WAS WHITE INSTEAD OF BROWN. HE STOPPED

THE JEEP LIT A CIGAR AND SAID PUT IT IN CENTER OF YOUR MOUTH---BUT-- DON'T INHALE!!

WRONG, I DID AND I LIKE THE TASTE OF SMOKE AND THAT'W WHAT STARTED ME SMOKING.

QUIT IN '85. FEEL GOOD. JUST AN OLD DOGFACE. ROCKY
