After which I'll say that a Lansing FSS briefer wished me a Happy Kwanza
three separate times during a briefing Saturday morning. Interspersed with
"What's your story?" "Why you go'in there?" "Wat you doin' here then?"
"Where you from anyway?" and after I referenced my in-laws, he told me he
was sorry for me and doubted that I was having a very Happy Kwanza. He also
referred to my trip with my wife and kids as a "Mercy Mission".

Truly bizarre. I had a hard time keeping from busting up laughing at him
cause he was totally serious.
