A Flood in the desert!

Our buddy Jason the medic tells me it's been raining like hell there. They've had lots of mud and their aid station got flooded yesterday, which put out their electric lights. Of course, since KBR did the wiring, a chaw of tobacco spit in the wrong direction could do the same thing.

Luckily, we sent him some battery-powered Coleman lanterns last month, and they put 'em to good use last night.

He said the docs had to perform some procedures by lantern light, and these $29 wonders saved the day.


KBR billed to DOD................. $89,000,000,000,000 gozillion dollars

Coleman Lanterns ................ $29 each

The irony................................Priceless
