4-# of the hour in the morning it starts getting light here. can't figure that one out. maybe i need to go outside and check it out
3-# of millions of times the broken dove in our backyard coos all night coupled with the dog who usually barks after midnight and before 6. (yes 4 and 9 and 3 are intertwined) wait. it just cooed again. 3,000,001.
2-# of showers i have been taking a day since recruit camp started tuesday
1-# of ila's missing puppies. maybe it was the squirrel, or the dove, or the night barker, or cock robin?
