0830 hrs. It's not me Bun! I'm sure you get worried sick every time you hear bad news about things in the Gulf. I just heard on VOA, that an American was shot while trying to escape capture by soldiers. It's not clear about his condition. If only the phones worked. I also heard on the news, that football season opens on Sunday. Another major event that I'll miss. Kidding.
There were a couple of shots fired near here last night, that woke Phill and I up. That's all it did, was wake us up. We both went right back to sleep. At this point, I think it will take a knock on the door now, to get the adrenalin going. I don't want to get the adrenalin going.
The embassy says they're trying to evacuate the women and children, by flying out of Kuwait to Baghdad. They are still trying to arrange the release of all of us. Keep praying. The news said King Hussein of Jordan is going to Baghdad to tell Saddam Hussein that he has no choice but to leave Kuwait. Sure wish he'd listen. Think I'll go have my morning toast now. To be continued.....unfortunately.....or fortunately depending on your point of view. We'll be thankful. Love you.
1010 hrs. Mario just received a message, relayed from Sarah, that they made it to Baghdad okay. She said Baghdad is operating as if nothing's going on. Said there is shelter there for Mario and John. Mario was also told that traveler's checks aren't any good. Cash only. Four Iraqi KD to one Kuwaiti KD. They said it used to be 12 to 1. John and Mario will probably be leaving next. Sarah said there is no problem going to Baghdad, or taking luggage. I give them two days here. God help the last of us.
