Basically, introducing Aaron Orr, a guest contributor to bw.watchtan.com.Enjoy his unique perspective and humor.Thanks,-Brian.
"Mah sa'lam," (goodbye) the man in the white dishdasha (deesh-dahsha) said to me as he exited the dirty, white four-door Nissan pickup I drove.
"Shook-rahn," I replied and immediately thought, "Dang!What I meant to say was … uh … was, 'fee im allah,' (go with god), not 'Thank you.'" But he was already gone and I was pulling away from the dirt shoulder of the road.
It's strange … language and the mind.

Two days ago, I got to talk to Aaron, a friend of mine who is a crew chief with the 82nd Med in Iraq.
First of all, he has high-speed internet.This is just amazing.Did I mention that he's deployed in Iraq?
...
Installation of Skype was simple, and soon Aaron and I were talking.What a wonderful, classy thing to talk using your own voice.There was very little lag between us, and we comfortably chatted for an hour or two.The connection dropped a couple times (something to which anybody with a cellphone has grown accustomed).
Having tried it with Aaron in Iraq, and also with Casey in Arkansas, I can vouch that it works great.
