Do you have Prince Albert in a can?

Well, you'd best let him out, he has to spread awareness about Global Warming!

Prince Albert of Monaco is visiting the continent.  He is staying in Hut 10, a building normally rented out for parties down here.  I heard Monaco recently signed the Antarctica Treaty, so now he's touring the place and trying to spread awareness on global warming.  The other night he gave a speech.  I did not go to it, as I was tired.  

I'm tired a lot lately.  It probably does not help that i moved my bedtime back from 10pm to 11pm to make myself more sleepy by the time it came time for bed, or maybe its because I have worked 9 hours a day 6 days a week for the last 5 months now.  It'll be good to get back to the states.  

I might not trying Wintering over sometime, but not right after a Summer season.
There will be an art show tomorrow.  I might enter a couple dreamcatchers I made.  I made them from spare parts lying about the shop.  The second one is made entirely out of copper and brass.  I call it the daydream catcher.  It just looks neat.  I think I like making these.  I like working with wire.

And now, cookies:

The other day I sat down with Michael the Janitor Lead.  We eating and he started telling someone else that the steak was good that night.  I wound up eating one of the three pieces I had and thought it was good.  I started on the second piece.
I tried to tell Michael how good the steak was, but the steak was so good I could not speak
That has never happened before.
Congratulations McMurdo, you have now raised the bar on my expectations for steak tenderloin.

Never a dull moment down there, is there?
Did the ice breaker crew come ashore or just drive by?
Gary sends this:
A man ran into a bar and asked "How big are penguins?"
The bartender answered "A couple of feet."
"Oh, my god!" the man said. "I just ran over a nun!"

The crew has been on and off station. I don't remember seeing the vessel the last few days, but that does not mean it is not there, mainly because where I normally go in a day my view is blocked by buildings.
