[...] Farmers in Nebraska and Afghanistan have long worked to cultivate “all varieties of seed-bearing plants, every sort of fruit-bearing tree.” Grain crops are so important to farmers in both places – Nebraska is in the heart of America’s “bread basket.” Bread called nan is a staple of Afghani life.

Reading this and listening on radio – it could be just about anything and everything. Makes me appreciate so much. Rex, I’m so glad you’re doing this — it brings the war close enough to allow us to share some of this – though we can never really know what it is to be there.

Take care!

My dad was in the Army and he often told this cautionary tale: He said that his Army KP staff was very clean, and washed everything with a heavy load of soap/cleaning liquid. But one time, the staff did not RINSE the soap from the plates adequately, and everyone got sick. So he used to tell me that it’s NOT enough to WASH well – you have to RINSE well too. Maybe you could look into the RINSING practices of the kitchen staff? Maybe it was leftover soap residue that made everyone sick?

Hope all those under the weather are feeling much better today.
Some days I find myself reading( or listening) to past entries. To see the faces of the children so eager to learn in their makeshift classroom……..I would like to pass that photo along to educators in my town, with your permission.
Thank you for broadening my horizons, does that even make sense?
