A Wonderfullyrich World

Rich,
 
Kevin here,
 
How are you doing? Kelly sends me all your blogs and it sounds like your at a very interesting place down there at the bottom of the world. Isn’t gravity wonderful. I’m still here in Massachusetts awaiting the word on from the Federal Gov. about collecting disability. I get calls […]

So there are natural green things here on or at least near the Antarctic continent.  Now I’d border this on the edge of token green, as I certainly wouldn’t say it’s a lime, or a tree, or grass, but it still seems to be green. 
Mykle, my ex-cohort at the PC Shop (or something like […]

So I’m on the list that get’s the daily satellite images and I thought you might like to see where we are at and what the krasin’s channel looks like.

Hi All, The clouds mostly left […]

One is considered a man’s sport, the other a women’s domain.  Down here, all lines seem to be a bit looser, or maybe the gender equality is finally becoming a reality.  Over the last two month’s I’ve learned to do both.  Stick welding and knitting have been added to my repertoire of random things I […]

I wrote this a month or so ago for the Antarctic Sun so the holiday season is a bit out of date, but it’s still an interesting piece.

This is probably the first time in my life I’ve been so deprived of smell.  Sure I’m on the windiest, driest, coldest, an arguably the most lifeless […]

So it’s that time of the year.  Even here in McMurdo, we suffer the tourist.  The Krasin has beaten a path into us and the vessels can now arrive so tourist have started to arrive at random intervals.  How odd that we as “residents” of McMurdo are amused at the tourist that come into our […]

I was cleaning out a storage space for Armed Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS) earlier today and it’s your average crawl space.  Dirty, dark, small, dusty, and full of boxes.  We were cleaning out stuff that’s been here for 5, 10, or perhaps more years.  It’s hard to say because this place is dry […]

So the friends I have at Chipotle have informed me of a cute feature that their webmaster/marketing department has been doing. Take a picture of you with your chipotle shirt on and they’ll put you on the web…

I’m the 2 to last picture right now.

I’d like to thank […]

I’m currently living 9000 miles away from the country to which I hold citizenship, in a place that is wholly surrounded by more then one ocean,  which is between two and three times the size of the continental United States, has no government, is not owned by anyone by international treaty, […]

So I’m focusing on the sun a bit as many of my post has been about the sun down here, but I’d have to say that’s because it’s by far the most indelible mark that we are not in Kansas anymore.  How strange does it seem that in one of the coldest environments on the […]
