I'm deffinately an alien here phoning home. Nothing unusual in the skies here. Yep wearing bullet proof vest and helmet when traveling but not when working unless incoming fire.
Edit: yep, good call, blanket and foam cushon strapped to my big bag.
My first ride on a Blackhawk.
I did not know there were wells burning in Kurdistan until I saw them myself, but this is old news.
Here is a video overflying the burning wells - not sure about fence or not.
We've had hot weather recently reaching up to 47°C (117°F) ,
so you can imagine how nice a visit to the beach is in late afternoon.
(and now we've got a week's worth of rain coming...)
Here's a pano on my iPhone taken at a local spot that we visit with my family to enjoy our summer evenings.
Hope you enjoy.

We got down to -37C or so today, had been unseasonably warm the last couple weeks. Should have snapped a picture this morning, you can see how cold it is when it's that cold.
