07/20/2010: "Glass Walls"

On this particular base, they are rather picky about the state of the grounds - they don't want you walking on the grass. Or the sand (for some reason, dirt does not exist here, although it exists off base. Thusly, grass does not grow very well, and so there's large patches of sand in the grass. Or there's patches of grass in the sand, whatever.). They even go so far as to have us raking lines in the sand, and not of the zen garden style.

So we have to stick to the sidewalks.

Normally, not a terribly annoying thing, except for around our barracks there's a bunch of work being done to the sidewalks. So there's been a bunch of fences put up, blocking off many of the sidewalks.

This gives us the effect of glass walls, kindof like the glass maze in a fun house - you can see where you're trying to go, but you're not able to get there the way that it looks like you should be able to. Extremely annoying.

It shows how exciting our existence is here when the taking down of some of these fences is cause for excitement.
