I woke up this morning to more wind and now there was rain. I was going to inventory Armored HMMWVs today, but I really didn't want to be outside in the rain all day. I postponed the inspection until Saturday. Wouldn't you know it, as soon as I rescheduled it stopped raining! The wind died down too. Speaking of wind, I'm getting a lot of questions about 180 days of wind. I guess I wasn't too clear. Here it goes. Supposedly Herat and the surrounding provinces get an average of 180 days of constant wind starting late winter, early spring. Yes, that's six months of constant wind! I've always hated windy days. Even when I was a kid windy days made me iritable, and it still does. I hope that answers all of the questions about 180 days. Again, thats six months of non-stop wind!
Back to the rain. Once it stopped, I went to my room and like Arizona the once dry riverbed was again flowing! I guess I screamed loud enough because KBR (Kellogg Brown and Root) came to fix it about a week too late. Hopefully the repair has fixed the problem.
Oh yeah, did I mention that Herat gets an average of six months of continuous wind every year?
