Labor Day 9/3/90

0745 hrs. Good morning, Bun. Happy Labor Day. Time to pack up and say goodbye to the cottage. Well, that’s what we should have been doing today. I'd sure like to be saying goodbye to this place. I'm still working on your letter. Abdullah stopped in to visit last night. He's the younger of the two Kuwaiti's who have helped us here. All the Kuwaiti's stayed home from work yesterday because it was the anniversary date of the invasion. He said they were going to stay home today, too. The Palestinians in this country are working though. They're supporting Hussein. If he wins, this could be their country. I think that was what Libya and Arafat are trying to arrange. I think the Kuwaiti's here are going to start hurting or killing them. They are betraying the Kuwaiti's and also turning in foreigners. I think the resistance here needs better organization, better strategic planning. Abdullah said that the Iraqi soldiers are being housed in the schools in the area. He said there are about 400 in the school by the police station near us. Even the families of the soldiers are there. Abdullah said they don't have homes in Iraq, and that the schools are all air conditioned. I guess that's something worth fighting for in a desert country. The house next to us is empty. John broke into it yesterday, and found tomatoes and a couple green peppers. It will be an extra place to hide, if we need it. Abdullah said that a couple more weeks, and Iraq will be out of some food. I don't really think he has all that accurate of information. Our other friend, Jafar, is older and I think more involved in the political families of Kuwait. His news is usually more credible I think. Miss you still. Not much in the news today. Got to go, Sarah just made us some omelets. Maybe I will miss her when she leaves.

1930 hrs. The women are leaving in the morning. I wrote you a four page letter. Mom is getting a one pager. I'm also sending this journal on a disk. I'm not sure whether our computer will be able to read this disk or not? I guess Mario and John will leave soon also. I'm just having too much fun to leave. Ha! Ha! Take care my love. God bless you. Remember the happiness. Be happy. I am with you always.
