Just when I figured I was getting used to things around here and becoming familiar with the sounds and sights that are normal...
I was heading to bed last night when something odd caught my attention. I could swear in the distance I heard bagpipes. Now this is not a good sign when on a marine base in the middle of the desert in Afghanistan you start hearing bagpipes. I must be really tired. Then I heard it again and it was getting louder. Someone was walking up the "street" playing the bagpipes. Bagpipe music is not something I enjoy very often, but apparently there is a marine Sargent here that plays. I sat outside for 10 min and listened... and actually felt a little home sick
