Hi!

It seems that I have quite a bit of time on my hands now so I'll print this. It is 1:15 now and I just got up at about 11:15 after I went back to bed. You know me. I couldn't miss breakfast. Most of our food is dehydrated and then they add water to it. You can't tell the difference between potatoes and rice till you taste them. We do get a lot of fruits for desert. Also a lot of jam and peanut butter. So dad gets the long week ends off again. That is swell. Well they just told me I have guard at 4 so I guess I'll have to work 8 out of the next 24 hrs.

So long
Love,
''Chas''
