Busy all morning keeping sick call going and getting things evacuated and ready to be evacuated. Rode up on bus to Little Baguio with load of patients and equipment. What a scene of ravage and desolation along the road. Skeletons, stinking to hell, strung along. Guns destroyed, crater holes everywhere, cars and trucks in all stages of destruction; trucks, bags, and equipment strung everywhere. So much waste and destruction! Mas sure tired when I got back, and ready to go to bed. Rice and gravy for supper.
