Flash, flash, flash. Tappety, tap, tap, tappety, tap, tap...
Trigger, your on-the-spot reporter here. Here's the latest news flash. At O-dark-thirty this morning as Mr. Poppy was entering my bunker, uh, stall, to saddle up for the ride in to work... whooooooosh, whoooosh, pause... Thump! Thump! Remember how I previously (like moments ago) reported that everything was quiet at FOB Delta. Not anymore! Two rockets raced across the sky and exploded to the south. Don't know if they hit anything, but at least it wasn't us. Good thing Mr. Poppy came into my new sandbag, reinforced stall this morning. Then, he had to wait 20 minutes before the "All Clear." Guess it made him a little late for his early start to get the old helicopter ready! Hah!
His flight was good fun, he said. Baghdad Green Zone, Baghdad International Airport, and a couple other places I've never heard of. Nice weather. No unhappy natives. It was a good day.
Hope your days are going well. Mr. Poppy would like to see pictures of Lauren's Prom, Adele's party for her new fiance', and any other event. Anyone out there know how to use a camera?
This has been a news update from Trigger, the super-reporter. Stay tuna'd for more breaking news...

Hi Poppy. We are all thinking very sympathetic thoughts about you getting bombed and all while we're sitting around the table at Crackers eating our breakfasts. We're glad that Trigger is still at your side. We look forward to having you here eating breakfast with us again soon. Here is what we had. Gunner had biscuits and gravy. Matt had sausage and pancakes. Janet had bacon and eggs. I had a turkey sandwich. Linda had a Farmer's skillet and Lauren had a greek omelet. Bacon, olives, green peppers, and feta cheese. Keep rinsing the sand out of your mouth and think about the breakfast that awaits. Clay
Funny guy, Clay. You just read me the menu for every meal I am missing!
Thanks for keeping the gang together & entertained.
Chris
