Amoung them: if you leave the cheese to thaw on the propane heater for two episodes of X-men (~40min) while you're trying to figure out what's wrong the the sonar, you will end up with a zip-top bag full of melted cheese, even if it started frozen.
:the slime attached to Brancker buoys when you pull them out of a frozen lake smells very, very bad.
:that ridge, the one over east, in the direction of the ocean, the one you can only see sky over, is neither the farthest nor the highest ridge.
:stream team boys who are working late at F6, but have to pee, will not bother getting dressed for their trip to the barrel, but will rather run very fast in a t-shirt and gym shorts.
:INXS, through Jethro Tull, to Jimmy Eat World seems to take about three hours, when one's coworker does not decided to push stop when one leaves.
:a simple picture will often brighten one's day, even when there is 24 hour daylight.

And, oh so many lessons you will take with you when you leave....maybe to apply again on another trip to No Man's Land Under the World. So I guess you are learning not only how to stay warm, safe, and nourished, and relieved, (peeing ice streams?) but also how to entertain yourself when all modern conveniences are left a world away. That is, if pure exhaustion leaves any time to be entertained. Sleep would probably be your first choice for fun these days...let those body parts and brain cells just run rampant in the land of Nod.
So for Thanksgiving, do we carve a turkey from ice and pretend, or do we get some "real" food? Whatever it is, I hope it's better than it has been. You being the amateur chef that you are, I am sure you and Meda will partake of a very (n)ice meal!
Will catch up on your Antarctic antics when we get back...
Much love from up North to way, way, way down South,
Mom and Dad
