Happy New Years Everybody!

Just chuggin' along here. The 108th got all geared up for the 1st and had some sort of ball thing they dropped at midnight. They also had some small bon-fires and karaoke.

Recently we've been topping out at the mid 60's with lows in the upper 40's. Its suppsed to be a bit cooler than that in a couple of weeks. Not much rain so far, but that's also supposed to change in a couple of weeks.

On the 27th of January I'll be leaving for Bangkok for a few days with a co-worker. Most people think of Bangkok in one of the two following ways:

I'll be sure and let everyone know which one I encounter. [Hint: Both]

Not much else going on here. I was off for Christmas but worked New Year's Day. I'm still doing the 6pm-4am shift. Lots of friends sent cards and gifts, which was very much appreciated.

Oh, for all you coffee drinkers looking for something a little different, try:
Peet's Coffee & Tea. Major Dickason's blend is quite nice.
The Coffee Fool. Their roasts are more on the light side but they have a ton of blend options which are very tasty.

Both companies shipped to Scania and in the case of the Coffee Fool, their bags are hermetically sealed. The coffee was sent already ground and was still quite fresh when I got it.
