Hoplite,
Howdy, neighbor.
I live in the compound about a block and a half toward the river from the GZ Cafe. I work in the convention center.
Sorry to hear about your house. I heard what must have been the explosion from the attack that hit your place. I was moving my stuff from one room to another and was outside when it hit. Did you lose anything in the attack? Let me know if I can help with gear or anything.
Thursday didn't seem, to me, especially active for incoming ordnance, but you know how skewed perception can be from one place to another inside the GZ.
If you eat at the Rasheed, look me up. I often sit in the corner that is at your 4 o'clock as you sign in. Look for a chubby-cheeked Army SSG with a flattop. My user ID is my last name.
How long have you been here?
Regards,
Chris
