Sorry I didn't give more details; it never occurred to me you might think he had been hurt or something. This video is a common, several-times-daily event. Their COP literally gets bombed all the time. Scott says they can tell when the Afghanis are the ones shooting at them because they're always way off mark; and they know when it's foreign mercenaries shooting at them because they get much closer - sometimes right inside the base like in this video.

Uncle Scott and Fall Fun
Scott came home at the end of September for R&R. We loved having him home, although it wasn't nearly long enough.
His nieces and nephews were thrilled to see him. And he had some pretty cool pictures and video clips of his base being bombed and himself shooting his 50-cal. It was both scary and cool - the boys loved it. I might have some of those clips to post soon, so check back later.
This was just the first pile of leaves we raked at the beginning of fall. The leaf pile has just about quadrupled in size since then.
My mom told us when she was a kid, they used the leaves to make a house - this was our attempt. We need to try again now that we have more leaves.
