[Ansteorra-archery] Greetings from Afghanistan

[Charlie Ribron II]

I agree with everyone on this account. Please keep your head down and I also
wish the worst thing you see is a thunder storm like Rose al'Noor.

>Greetings unto M'Lords and Ladies, Fellow Archers All,
>  Hello from the Hindu Kush mountains of eastern Afghanistan. It's a
>beautiful evening here, Jupiter is shining brightly alongside a silver
>crescent moon over the mountains. There's been no explosions this evening,
>and that's a good thing. Our folks clearing out landmines and such only
>detonate them during the day, so what goes thump in the night is never
good.
>Conditions here are fairly rough, but tolerable. I've never minded living
in
>a tent, washing my clothes in a bucket and such.
>  If I have any regret at all about canceling my retirement to volunteer
for
>this mission, I have only to look around at the dedicated young men and
>women I serve with to be reminded of why I wanted to be here. They endure
>much and complain little. You can be proud of them and what they do, I know
>I am.
>  Not much hope of getting in an archery practice over here, that'll have
to
>wait until I get back. Until then, I wish you all luck in shooting high
>scores for the glory of Ansteorra and the honor of archers everywhere.

>Yours in Service,
>Lord Robert of Yorkshire
