To those of you planning to send to the Mudhouse, and to past supporters, thank you! Taji has a special thing going that can be found nowhere else in the world. The success is due to the hard work of volunteers up there.
Unfortunately, many cannot partake in the fun. LCDR hit the nail on the head about the folks on a COP/JSS that have no hot water, hot meals, etc., in remote locations.
I have helped the unit I'm stationed with in building a "mudhouse" of their own. I'll be back home herfin' before they get the first shipment of cigars, but I think that since this is the only show in "town", it will be a success for the 200+ folks stationed here.
