Day 9 - Hats

Sometimes strangers do something that really are neat. Yesterday something like tat happened to me.

Our team received a box of hand knitted stocking caps. They were made by a group of ladies called Prpylaeum Knitting Club in Indianapolis, and all are between 55 and 80+ years old. They make hats for deploying troops. The hats were all in army-ish colors. Every Soldier on the team received a hat. We also took a group picture for the ladies, of course we had the hats on in the picture.

We told the ladies about what our team will be doing and it sounds like they will be making scarves for children in Afghanistan. Overall its neat to think that some lady made some hat for some guy she'll never meet. Just pretty neat.

I'll have to take a picture of the hat.

My small pox immunization site is hurting. It's normal for pain between days 8-10. Supposedly the pain lasts for 24-48 hours.

That's about it, I'm tired and want to get to bed.
