I never said it in all this time. Fort Collins, CO, home of drunken student riots.
It's great for murder buffs here. Our murder rate is very low, but when it happens, it tends to be spectacular. Three of our murders ended up as subjects of police shows. We were in great spectator positions for the Columbine massacre and the Mathew Shepard case. Our local college has a world-famous forensic anthropologist.
Spent half my life in Texas. Have relatives in Jasper, and spent many a great summer as a kid visiting them and running around in the piney woods. Some of my cousins sentenced some of my other cousins to death for that famous dragging death. Check out the movie,

Before I got sent over here to Iraq, I was living in
San Diego. I loved it there. If fate allows it,
I will move back there as soon as I get back to the states.

I went to college at Auburn, Ala. for a few months. Couldn't stand anyone there. Girls always started the conversation out with, "So what does YOUR daddy own?" The school of pharmacy featured a mural on the progression of man, starting out with cavemen with crew cuts.
Sorry, don't mean to slam Alabam. I just spent a little time in a tiny, overbred corner of it.
As the only Iraq-serving soldier on the board, you're liable to have people demanding you "tell us the truth" about what the hell's going on over there.
Good thing you're not into politics, in this case.
You probably already heard this one:

The Captain called the Sergeant in. "Sarge, I just got a telegram that Private Jones' mother died yesterday. Better go tell him and send him in to see me."
So the Sergeant calls for his morning formation and lines up all the troops. "Listen up men," says the Sergeant. "Johnson, report to the mess hall for KP. Smith, report to personnel to sign some papers. The rest of you report to the Motor Pool for maintenance. Oh by the way, Jones, your mother died, report to the commander."
Later that day, the Captain called the Sergeant into his office. "Hey, Sarge, that was a pretty cold way to inform Jones his mother died. Couldn't you be more tactful, next time?"
"Yes, sir," answered the Sarge.
A few months later, the Captain called the Sergeant in again with, "Sarge, I just got a telegram that Private McGrath's mother died. You'd better go tell him and send him in to see me. This time be more tactful."
So the Sergeant calls for this morning's formation. "Okay men, fall in and listen up. Everybody with a mother, take two steps forward. NOT SO FAST, McGRATH!"
