December Catch-up and Holiday Time.

Howdy,

It's been one busy month, this December. So much so that I've had another drought on this blog.

One bit of new involving my days in Nevada was that an article that I'm a co-author on did get published. I'm excited for that. Now, if I had the time and the resources to finish the article that I'm the lead author on...

Also, our Meteorology Department was awarded a safety medal for working so safely on the station. I believe that this accomplishment was mentioned in an Iowa news station somewhere, I think Sioux City. As for the South Pole itself, it has been warmer than normal, but yet there have been plenty of clear to partly cloudy days, which is a little unusual with this combination.

Christmas has come and gone, but I still want to make sure that you and your loved ones enjoy your holiday season.

Until next time.

Time to stop and smell the....glycol??

Hello again,

I hope things are going well for you wherever you are reading this. I just want to take some time to remind you to enjoy life a little bit, take advantage of what's around you and don't wrap yourself up in a myriad of mini-tasks. I maybe feeling that way with things on station and things that I have yet to begun. So, instead of rushing off to other odd tasks after work, it would be better to have a good conversation with some friends or plain not just worry about the world for a while. That's the little bit of wisdom that I have to share.

FYI, glycol is the coolant that is used at the Pole to make sure nothing mechancial freezes. Have a rose on me, everyone.
