Changed my settings. Kinda cool.

I just got some crap news. When I left KSA the first time, I left a computer behind to be shipped to me. Well, it never left KSA. Nobody knows where it is. This so sucks.

We had an interesting thing happen on the way back. There was some guy in a little Toyota truck who was right on our tail. Glenn was bound and determined to not let him pass.
