“Turner wasn’t sure what to expect in Afghanistan. The terrain reminded him of Victorville and Barstow, of the high desert and looming mountain ranges.”

hahaha well it’s good to know that my home looks like Afghanistan… just in case i ever have to go over there.

but really, great story.

I watched from Kuwait in ‘05 as we lost to the Sox. Got up at 01:45 Kuwait-time, trekked to the MWR tent to watch the end of each game. A week later, I was back in Iraq. So, had they made the WS, I wouldn’t have been able to watch anyway…
