Absent without leave...

Sorry, I haven't been posting much lately.

At present I'm absent writing.

I'm in Afghanistan, Nimruz and Herat Province, in 1979. Time-machines are wonderful contraptions.

It's March, and a little bit on the cold side, though.

An armed confrontation is about to explode, followed by an armed insurrection. So please excuse me for a while... If I should survive, I hope to move on to Kabul eventually...
