ps: While it's not my turn to hide, in case you notice me MIA anyway, you might find me on a sailboat in the Chesapeake Bay or in a bar in St. Michaels or Annapolis, or in case pirates get me don't pay any ransome.

I can't find that on my map. I see a town in the south call Umm Qasr. Is that where you're looking? All these Iraqi towns seem to have at least 3 spellings. The town I'm in has two that I found.
Either way I'm not there.
