...continued from August 20, 1953
I went to the Sea Store today and bought a carton of cigs and a box of cheese-it crackers. It is funny how cheap different things are. Everything that has a lot of tax is cheaper. Just think cigarettes are 8 cents a package. Well that is about all today. I am going to bed. I have to get up at 4 am for KP. We sat our watches back another hour. That makes 3 hours now. I think we have travelled about 1500 miles. Maybe be and maybe not. The ship has turned a little more south today for some reason.
I didn't get a chance to write yesterday. Today is Sat the 22 of August. It's 2:30 pm here. At home it would be 7:30 pm. There is five hours difference between here and K.C. Last night we sat our watches back again.
Didn't do much yesterday. Went on KP about 4 am and stayed on till about 2:30 pm. After that I took a shower and washed up some of my clothes. I had a headache so I layed down around 5 and didn't get out of bed till about 5:30 this morning.
I played cards with the boys after breakfast from 7 am till lunch and then after lunch we played more till I quit to write this letter. We play hears and rummy.
I picked up a cold somewhere. My head is stopped up.
The weather is nice. I clouded up a little bit today and it sprinkled but it didn't amount to anything. It seems like it is a little hotter each day. Our compartment is plenty hot at night to sleep in. I think we have gone about half way now.
