A day off for me
Ah, what a
nice and peaceful
day. At the end of the day yesterday, I asked if anyone would
mind if I took the day off, even though everyone else was planning to
come out. Dana, Garry and I stayed in town while Paul, Eric and
Bob went out to Williams Field to give ANITA some assistance with their
buttoning-up process. I was a little bummed that I didn't go out
with them, especially since they saw a penguin over near Scott Base on
their way out and three more near the weatherport later on in the
day! But even still, getting to sleep in was better than seeing a
penguin. There'll be other opportunities.
After partaking of the vast array of fruits,
vegetables, pies, fish, eggs, bacon and pancakes that make up the
fantastic McMurdo Sunday Brunch, I went over to the coffeehouse and
spent most of the day over there looking at data from the whopper run
that is going on out at Williams Field. I had aspirations of
climbing Observation Hill or doing something else active, but alas,
sheer fatigue and lackadaisy won out.
Tomorrow, we're going to halt the current whopper
run and button up TIGER permanently. And, I hope to get some good
pictures of the solar eclipse tomorrow.
