Sounds like the Taliban just fired a 107mm rocket at us. This one sounded fairly close, but I doubt they hit anything. They aren't very good shots. If they ever get any good mortar crews here, they good go to town on this place, but I doubt they'd want to get that close to us. Most of the villages outside the wire are vey friendly and the locals are well armed. They need to be because every once in a while their personal disputes end in gun fire.
