A Seabee on duty in Iraq writes about what he sees going on. Things are a lot better that you what hear on TV.
Cut the grass tonight. Then afterward took my rechargeable weed whacker 
and buzzed around the yard. I scared up a Praying Mantis who climbed up out of the flower bed on to the side of the house to see what I was doing. They are really neat bugs. Although not endangered, they are a bit of a novelty. I usually only see one or two each summer. This guy (or girl) was about two inches long. They have an articulated head and as you move around you can see their head moving to track you like a radar unit.
Reading a little more in Boothman's book. It reminds me a lot of a Tony Robbins book, except it's a lot more compact. Boothman covers in 170 small pages, what Tony would cover in 250 large fine print pages. I like brevity.
