Saving...
I'm getting to be an old gad about. Three of us went to town again yesterday. Saw the movie "A Royal Scandal." I thought it was rotten. Came home early and went to bed per usual. Honest. One of our boys in the tent was a little under the weather last night. One drink too many. When I came in he was lying on the ground out between the tents. We tried to get him to bed, but he kept falling out so we gave up and left him there on the floor. What a beautiful night it was last night. You could see the moon, a nearly full one, reflect off the Med. Sea. Ships were sailing by and it looked like something poets write about. I've been standing my usual amount of guard. In fact I've already stood four hours today and go out for four more hours this evening.
