To inform everyone that I have retrieved the original Sink postings and if you click on the Archive button above you can see it in its currently restored form–with some provisions.

Hey everybody,

      Just wanted to throw this post up so that everybody knows that I am head for Afghanistan next friday on the 14th.  I will be headed somewhere in the Helmand Province but I do not know where.  Anybody who wants to is welcome to come down before I head out.  If you want to then get ahold of me.  Phone number is 912-695-8247.  This will be my address while I am over there if you feel like writing me:

LCpl Morgan, Lee R.

2nd battalion 8th marines

Golf Co. 2nd plt

Unit 73240

FPO AE 09510-3240

This will be a repeat for some of you but I wanted to make sure this got on the Sink:

Here are some pics from the great visit we had.  Hope that everyone out there had a lovely Christmas!
Hope we can all see each other more in the new year!
Lots of love,
Claire

I know a lot of you live in parts of the country where you see weather changes rather more dramatically than in LA. Claire took these pictures from her hilltop home just before we had our first thunderstorm of our paltry rainy season. Rarely do we see rain before November.  We’ll see what the new season brings this year.

Just grabbed these photos off of Facebook, which I think is getting way too much facetime over the Sink! (Remember, if you click the tiny FS button, bottom right, you can see them fullscreen.)

Relatively small outbreak on Tuna Canyon Road.  The problem has been “contained”.

Congratulations to the newest subscribers–all female by the way and I think we carry both genders in the family. It’s extremely easy to sign up and frequently I will be adding some interesting tidbits so take a minute and get in there!
