Well, this is it. My time here is almost up, I cannot wait to return to home station. I am tired of the killing and death, the being a political pawn in a election year game of life and death. And then theres the heat (its over 100 here already), and the flies and mosquitos and the general state of ick that permeates the air here. It will be good to get home. I have learned so much in my year here, about myself and about the human condition. I would like to say that I am coming back unscathed, but...
