Jilin, June 30th , 11:30 PM . I was walking through a maze of non-existent paths in shoulder high corn fields trying to find my way from the rig to the main road where a car was waiting to take me back to what you might relatively call civilization. A civilization of a different kind, civilization in its original form, when man took to agriculutre and settled for living together in a society. I was in the middle of rural china.
Thats the way its been for the past few weeks. Each job is harder than the previous and for some reason known to the Great Mr. Murphy , something always goes wrong. Just when you think, finally tonight I get to sleep in a bed and take a shower, you wake up from your day dream to realise its going to be another long night in the chair or on your feet. Life has been hard, real hard and looks like it will be for a while.

Hoping for a vacation sometime soon. I guess "He" has to decide and i dont mean God.

And I have spent a lot of time in the past few weeks cursing myself for not having brought my camera along.
The countryside here is really beautiful, especially when the sun comes up at 3 am and you can see the orange glow of the yellow ball falling upon the greenery which stretches to the horizon. or when you have a really clear night sky and you can see a crisp crescent moon and the stars as a background for the rig. Its a pretty sight.
