Dear Diary, So now “God-Awful Canal” is quiet and I am going on a 24-hour pass February 11-13. New Blackout hours start tonight at 7:30 oh boy, isn”™t that swell. There is heavy firing today. Boy it bangs the doors and knocks the dishes from the table. Boy the people who thinks earthquakes are bad
