DECA is the Defense something Commissary Agency. They run our grocery store. Apparently they think the best way to say Happy Thanksgiving to Americans living overseas is to run out of standard holiday items. Hope no one on island wanted real cranberries this year because -oops! - they're unavailable. What? You need some half and half for your baking delights? Sorry. We're out.
Let's look on the bright side: at least they didn't run out of crescent rolls like they did last year (or maybe that was at Christmas so there's still time for it to happen again) and the rumors about no pecans and no more turkeys turned out to be false. Phew! I guess that could bring up a whole different entry about our AWESOME radio station. No, not plural. Singular. Radio. Station. And it sucks. And they spread rumors about no turkeys and no pecans.
But hey, it was about 75 today so I guess I have nothing to complain about :)

Do not say bad things about the Ministry of Truth...uhh...I mean the radio station. They're watching us right now...
Who needs cranberries anyway--they used to say they might cause cancer--and as for the half and half--it just causes your arteries to clog up
Dad,
I love that you have become so healthy that you - YOU! - are worried about artery-clogging half and half. I've never heard the cancer-cranberry link, though, so I think you're making it up.
Just to let you know, your DECA instilled fears of not having turkey or pecans at Thanksgiving will stick with you long after you leave Okinawa. I stocked up on Halloween candy a month early this year, you know, because they always run out. I forgot that I now live in AMERICA where candy is plentiful!!!
