These are pictures from my friend Deuce (Allen) that he has taken in Uzbekistan and some of his daughter Sedona. His comments from his email are below the pictures in quotes and mine are in bold below his.
   This is Deuce's email giving me consent to use his pictures. With a certain ending deleted to protect the innocent.

"Hey Brotha!!!

   How are you? Things here are going good. You caught on to us (about the Space man outfits), we are actually a top secret government-alien hunting agency of super ninjas, known only as the Alien Counter Intelligence Division, or A.C.I.D. for short. We are here because our secret CIA contacts deep inside of Uzbekistan have reported that Osama is actually a renegade half Irish/half Chinese Elvis impersonating transvestite alien from Des Moines, IA, who is hell bent on world domination, death to the infidel, and the perfect slurpee (you are more than welcome to use the pics). Other than that, not much has changed here. It's getting warmer, still killin' spiders (Allen-42, Spiders-1), working out quit a bit, and praying for R&R. It's looking like August before my first R&R.

   (I'll send a couple of the fire we had recently as well). A couple of guys and I here are talking about heading to Ireland for a week or so coming up here in March (Hope that is a mistype because he sent it June 20th). If you want to venture with, or got any good ideas for vacation/party/drinking/fornicating spots, let me know. Well pal'o mine, that's about it, so I'm going to close for now. Take care, and I'll talk to you soon.
Allen"
   Can ya'll now tell why we got along so well in orientation. If not you obviously haven't been reading the Chronicles too closely.
