Today I added several blogs to my connection list and will add more soon. Since I can't write about the war first hand, I will keeping adding blogs from those who do.
So in the right column in addition to the New York Times "At War" blog and David Marron's Thunder Run I added the Helmand Blog-Afghanistan by a Royal Marine Major, the FaST Surgeon blog by a Doctor serving in Afghanistan, The Gun Line, Free Range International, and Fire and Ice.
And on a COMPLETELY different note, my friend Kristine Chin and her husband are about to ride across Iowa again this year on a tandem bicycle. Last year they borrowed my tandem and had a van carry their gear. This year they bought their own heavier tandem and are carrying all their gear for the entire 400 mile ride across Iowa called RAGBRAI. Last year she posted daily about butt pain and her love for pork chops. This year she is again riding with less than 100 training miles. Should be interesting. Her blog.
