Thanks for reading my paragraphs on what I learned on your web site. The icebreaker is out at sea in a huge storm helping the critical cargo supply ship get to McMurdo before winter sets in. So when you wrote, I was on my way to the South Pole in a ski equipped cargo plane. We had spectacular views on the way. It was -41 degrees at the South Pole.
Nothing lives there except the people at the South Pole Base.
To calculate Antarctic time, add one day to the day in Oregon and subtract 3 hours. It is light here 24 hours a day, so it is hard to keep track of time. I just got an e-mail from my wife Myrnie. She told me that our dog Edith rolled in something that smelled very bad, and she wished I was there to give her a bath. She also hopes that I don't like it so much down here that I would want to work here or come back often.
