Smoke rising into the air is a pretty common sight around here. Some times, it is a sign that someone is either having a very bad day (or good day, depending on who got blown up). In this particular case, I’m pretty sure that the smoke is coming from “Camp Trash Can”, which is the garbage dump on base. Since they haven’t built an armored garbage truck, the next best thing for us to do is to burn it. I guess it helps that there is no EPA around here. The Iraqis, well, they don’t put that much effort into waste management, they just dump their trash wherever they feel like it. It is not uncommon to see the remains of a butchered goat in a gutter or a sewer pipe from a house dumping straight onto the street.
