Good luck Pat
As someone whose brother served with the British Army in Iraq, I have nothing but admiration for you or any national who undertakes such work. Your country should be proud of you and your blogs demonstrate an approach to the people and life of Afghanistan which is admirable. Good luck with your mission and I hope you get to see your family in soon.

Great to hear from you and again a wonderful blog to keep us informed. Can't wait to sit down with you in S'toon and all the rest of the stories that didn't make these blogs. I'll book a week! Looking forward to seeing you again and have a safe trip home. Pushing 40?!! You kids are so funny...

Popeye
Many Canadian Foreign Posts I have been on there is always a "Popeye" type local that Canadians embrace as one of their own. They are hardworking, humble and a family orientated person that are just trying to make life better for their family. It is shameful and utter cowardice that something like that would happen to a person trying to do good in his life and for his family. My heart goes out to Popeye and his family. Stay safe Pat.

Hi Pat, It makes you wonder sometimes how we can treat other human beings the way we do! At least Popeye will be remembered as a positive member of that society!! P.S. Remember to play safe over there!

Pat, Popeye sounds like he was a wonderful man. Such a tragedy. We would like to send some money for the family. Do you know how we would go about doing this? Please let us know. Keep safe Pat. We are keeping you in our prayers. Cyndi

Quite a story
That's a pretty sad ending Pat, I'm sorry to hear. There's a whole bunch of things I want to say right now but I better not, they might be taken the wrong way. Terrible that people like this are killed and others live on without conscience. Take care Pat and we'll talk to you soon. We'll have to go on a nice long bike ride when you get back. Bill

Popeye
I heard the story of Popeye on the news the other night and thought what a loss it must be for those who knew him and counted on his presence. Another one of the senseless acts that no doubt take place on a regular basis in a war zone. Take care and I look forward to hearing more of your stories when you get home...safely.

Popeye
Thank you Pat for giving me a peek into the life of this man. He seemed,from the pic, like a man at piece, in a world of chaos. I hope his family is okay. It seems so pointless to kill a man purely trying to survive and support his family. Thanks again for keeping in contact, and stay safe my friend.

You have to wonder...
That's too bad to hear, Pat. I agree that Canada could use more hard-working, dutiful people such as "Popeye". Instead, we seem to get some immigrants who have little respect for Canadian police or the law; where some commit multiple criminal offenses. You have to wonder where Canadian Immigration legislation is at, when people like Popeye are kept out, and certain "imported" criminals are not being shipped back to their countries of origin.

Hot
My best friend just came back from Afghanistan and we went fishing a few weeks ago it was about +25 C out on the water. He wore pants and a sweatshirt and thought it was cool out!! Keep up the great work and stay safe.

Your Stroll in the Heat
Great story and thanks for sharing. If you were wondering where all the water was when you were walking, it was back in Saskatchewan...a little damp out there. And where did you get that urine specimen container? They call them "Pamir Cola" in Afghani....almost like a soft drink.....

Was it hot?
What are the day time temperatures right now? Our +25 C in Invermere must seem like the North Pole for you

Sounds like a great day. You must have lost 10lbs on that walk.

Afghanistan vs G20
Well, you have had a bit more excitement than me. I was in the basement of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre before and during the G20 meetings. The biggest danger there was heat rash and pigeon attacks. No ninjas made it in, thanks to Team 8! Stay safe and get back home soon.

Your whirlwind of a European vacation sounds like quite the adventure. Driving must have sucked if you ditched your pimpin' hyundai for the metro, pedal bikes or walking. Keep the updates coming and stay safe. VG
