Two of my cluster-mates are forest firefighters when they are not in Antarctica. This evening we watched a documentary about forest firefighting and I listened to a conversation about inter-departmental politics of western forest firefighting. I told them I thought it was stupid that they made the forest firefighters do push-ups (saw it in the video), it's really all I could add to the conversation.
There was a '70s vs. '80s dance party at one of the bars on campus. There is little to no hairspray on campus, so it was challenging for many trying to dress 80s style.
With the nasty weather here again on my day off, I spent the night writing letters, emails, postcards and a long phone call with Alex.
Ann Curry from the Today Show is still here. They plan to broadcast live from here (on the Today Show) on November 5th and 6th. And then again on the NBC Nightly news on November 6th.

My mom sent me an e-mail and wrote: "Firefighters need to do pushups to strengthen the heart muscles so they can survive the workload and bad air they encounter."
