Another Thing
Andy needed the internet again, so I wanted to follow up on some questions people asked last time.
I have been going about 4 or 5 days between shaves. I don’t have a giant beard, but I do look a bit scruffy. I think I’m going to get a haircut as well, because since there are no showers on the train, I’ll be walking around with severe bed-head.
Everyone here in this internet cafe is playing CounterStrike and other various internet “shoot-em-up” games. Its kinda weird really… the average age here seems to be around 13 or so.
The computer won’t let me change into the Cyrillic character set, so I can’t write in Russian and show you some of the words I’ve learned (like Internet which is more like Nhtephet with backwards N’s). I’m getting better and better though, and I anticipate that Andy and I will be able to survive just fine in Siberia.
My hat is itching me less and less, so I think it just needs to be brushed a bit. Andy won’t let me put it in his bag though for fear of fleas, and he walks 10 feet away from me when I wear it. I think he’s just jealous. I’ll get a picture of me wearing it as soon as I can.

Mike, You haven’t told us what animal the fur hat was made from, Is it ermine? mink? sable? fox? rabbit? skunk? rat?
Sounds like you are having fun!

Mike, I have been enjoying the postcards (they are posted outside my door) and have shared this weblog with the department. I also really really enjoyed the flake until I read about your flea problem ;-P

Mike, Luanne has been passing on your postcards and today your blog; I just caught up! What an adventure you are on! I’m a little jealous but not enough to want to try it, you is a crazy boy… I think when you finally join us in June you are going to be bored out of your mind, even if you are happy with a real bed, real food, and a clean face (the beard has to go son, we want to see that smiling face!) Enjoy, and stay safe and out of trouble!
