So I turned 25 today. Can't say I have ever been one to really "feel" my birthdays, and this was no exception. Inbal text messaged me at midnight to say "happy birthday," so that was a good start to the anniversary of my birth (she didn't want to call because she knew I was sleeping and didn't want to wake me up). A couple years ago I actually forgot it was my birthday until people started calling me to wish happy birthday. I was in israel and it was Rosh Hashannah, so I had a good reason to be thinking about other things. Anyhow, nature did grant me one random/funny gift today. And that gift is this man:


This guy fell asleep on the train and snored so loud! Seriously. Everyone was staring and laughing. I feel really bad for his wife. I have no idea how she gets any sleep at night. Earplugs, maybe? I also met this cool officer-girl who is also named Adi (so if she is reading this, leave a comment/email address!) who was amused that I was taking pictures. I didn't take a picture of him straight-on because in the unlikely case that he woke up as I was taking the picture.


I took this picture because of how common it is at every army base in israel. In every base, there are always places where there are just bullets strewn haphazardly on the ground for no real reason. New bullets, usually. If you ever lost a clip of bullets on a base, just wander around and pick-up the stray bullets and you'll be back in business in no time. Just a funny fact about israeli army bases.
