Monday Morning

I was almost asleep last night when something popped. My eyes snapped open but I did not hear anything else. Being in that place where you are more asleep then awake, I went back to sleep.

About three I got up to pee but was still not in the awake state and went back to sleep.

At four a loud car woke me – same loud car every weekday morning since last winter - one of these days I’m going to be standing in the rode with a hammer to ask him where the heck he goes so early.

I was almost back to sleep when SNAP! - my eyes were forced open. This time I knew what I had heard.

I got my flashlight to do Recon. Both of my traps were sprung – I was right – there was more then one – maybe a whole platoon.

I reset my traps after giving the soldiers an honorable burial, and grabbed a heel from the loaf of bread to camouflage my traps and entice any other enemy soldiers.

After checking my work and feeling good about my victory I went back to bed but no joy – my stomach was grumbling and I was ready to start my day.

While I heated my water for tea I noticed the camouflage for the old wooden trap had disappeared. I could not believe it – they must have a battalion trying to plunder my treasures.

I have plenty of ammo and plan on keeping a sharp watch until I get them all the darn bastards. So far it is me three, the enemy zero.
