Sunday night I had what (I hope) to be the last of my movie nights. It's a great flick, and seemed only to obvious and germane a choice to pass up.
A roped flag line was actually set up from the station to Summer Camp. I guess it was the conservative move, given the fact we have so many new-to-Pole/Antarctica folks at Pole now, but seems a bit odd from the perspective of somebody who has spent a couple winters walking around in the dark/wind/storms. Better safe than sorry.
“The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.”

I think it's useful to be reminded that we are not really in control of much of our lives-every time people complain about weather problems with flight I want to ask them-would you rather try to land in a thunderstorm? It is horribly aggravating to have to get ready and then stand down over and over. They do seem to have gotten folks down to Pole pretty early this year-And better to wait than to die on the approach to McMurdo, no? You could even have a day off!
