yesterday I got this crazy work request to build a courtyard, yes a courtyard here at the palce. Plant trees and shrubs and bring in loads of dirt to pour on top of the sand. Of course this flippant request will take some brass banging me over the head to get it pushed thru (I'm a staunch guardian of tax payer money). But what really gets me is they want to put up screens around the trees to keep the birds from nesting. Now that doesn't seem like a "whole earth" approach to the situation. There is a Major who always puts in these requests on the General's behalf and I sometimes wonder if its like those Life ceral commercials: "Give it to Maj X. He'll ask for it. He'll ask for anything."
Maybe I can interest them in xeroscaping...now that would be a cool way to go into business here in Iraq - as a landscaper.
