No, it's Friday, January 15th, 2010. 10 23 in the morning. We're on the Iraqi border and we just spoke with one of the Jordanian officers on this side. On the Jordanian side. We put in touch with Captain Foster, apparently the US Army. They don't have a rocky officers that are managing the borders.

They have American soldiers do it. It was really interesting because Captain Foster was very genuine. He was caring for our safety and everybody's very concerned. But given the conversations I've had with Sammy and my own kind of like intuition is that, you know, Iraq's are really trustworthy.

I mean, we're blowing this thing up out of proportion. And the captain actually thinks that being driven into Rupa by Humvee would be more safe than for us to go with a local. . So we're trying to sort out the details now. I guess we're waiting for Captain Foster to come speak with us. But also the, the embassy in the US Embassy and Mon Jordan wants to know whenever Americans come in to Iraq.

And it seems like more red tape that's gonna keep us from getting in. But I just went, throw that out there. Like I, I really heard my own kind of concern and kept in Foster's voice. You know, he's very sincerely interested in making sure that we're safe, but he just, you know, he just does not get it.

So hopefully I'll have more to reflect on when I get if we get into Rupa. And now I gotta turn my phone off somehow.
