080412 Milano, music and cats 

 

There are a variety of questions I get asked and some I can answer here.  One is the any other place to eat on base besides the DFAC.  Yes, there are there coffee shops which mainly sell coffee but they sell food as well.  One is the Milano, which is sort of a sports bar (see the two pics above.) 

Another question is what activities are available for your spare time.  First of all if one works 12-14 hours a day, every day (and 'every day' means exactly that) there is little spare time.  Time management is important here.  But yes, the Military has done a great job of making available other stuff to do. 

And one is the volleyball (see the pic above.)  This also doubles use as a small soccer field for the Europeans, who insist upon calling soccer 'football'. 

And yes, the cats here are doing fine.  There's a certain bit of comfort that comes when you pet an animal and the kitten is just damn fun to play with.  He

really goes crazy for a bit of string on then end of a stick. Damn be that rabies threat!
And finally I like to listen to angry white guy music.  I've defined that as Linkin Park, Hinder, POD, Daughtry, Blue October, Phoenix, Silversun Pickups, etc. Of course Coldplay, The Airborne Toxic Event, The Black Keys, Everlast, Foster the People, etc. are damn good too.  And yes, Everlast is fronted by a black guy but to me it's still angry white guy music.   Finally, no I don't label the pic.  I suppose I could but it's not too complicated to match them up.
