Last night held a bit of excitement. During the midnight meal someone told us there were ~30 penguins on campus by the boat dock. We headed that way immediately and spent some time enjoying the penguins. They would walk up a hill only to turn around and slide back down. It didn't take long for a substantial crowd to develop. The penguins were curious and walked right up to the crowd.
McMurdo station made the news for reasons other than our science: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080109/od_nm/christmas_dc;_ylt=AldyT0kYRpzw3AjAHSeXhPms0NUE
During morning janitor meeting, we were told that the flu is going around campus with ~20 cases in the last week.
It's still snowing with at least 6 inches of accumulation and some knee-high drifts.

I read that article but none of the Antarctica bloggers are talking. Details man, details!
Ha! You know as much as I. I had my picture taken with drunk Santa and can confirm he was well intoxicated.
Lucas, I bet you are looking at the penguins just like when we are looking at deers here. Hope you are doing well and when you returned back on the 21st and happen to be in nashville, you must let me know.
