Jalalabad

100+ F here in Jalalabad before 1100 hours even.  Humidity is only 6% though.  Feels like walking through a giant oven.  In the evenings the wind starts up and conjours imaginations of walking towards a flamethrower.

Other than the heat, JAF is a fantastic base.  Just big enough to be comfortable, small enough to avoid a lot of the BS.  I'm only here for a few days, but if I had to spend a long period of time in Afghanistan again, this would be a decent place to do it.
