Sludge
One thing sort of stood out today as I went into New Orleans. This is a picture of what is left over when the waters recede in New Orleans. It is highly unhealthy. It also has a smell so strong, so unique it is almost kingly. This smell could be crowned and robed, seated on a throne and given an orb and scepter...I don't hope to encounter his Majesty again.

A veritable ode to sludge. You military types are sooooo poetic.
At al Kharj airbase in KSA, to get from tent city to the ops group you had to walk past the generator pool on one side and the cess-pool on the other. Yummy!
Ah, comparative sludge analysis. Isn't there a story about British Army officers categorizing dozens of types of trench mud during WWI? Apparently it was rated on various charistaristics such as viscosity, hue, clay content, etc.
I'm curious to how it compares to Karachi bay at low tide.
