The Freezing Man thing last night was a neat experience. It was perfect for those free spirited, crazy people. Not perfect for me, but still fun. People were dressed up in whatever they felt like.
Like I said yesterday, we weren’t able to get too close, it was overcast, and they were pretty lazy but here is a picture:

During lunch today I signed up to go on a “See the Penguins” trip in a Delta (that’s those huge Orange monsters that I rode to the Ice Caves in). These are the Emperor Penguins like the ones that you imagine, the real majestic ones like in Happy Feet.
The ice breaker Oden arrived and docked today. I was there when it happened. I didn’t actually even touch the line as a line handler this time because there were about 15 people too many volunteering.
The IT party was tonight. I think it was supposed to be the holiday party, but it’s no longer the holidays, so it’s just a party now. And if you weren’t aware, IT parties are where IT’s at.
While I was working outside this week, because I’m tough, I noticed a lot of people coming and going over to Hut Point. So today after lunch I wandered over there to see what the fuss was all about.
I worked outside all day again today. I should correct yesterday’s post, it wasn’t really a half a mile worth of cable. I heard someone say that and it certainly seemed like more than a half a mile so I passed that on.
I worked outside all day today. Luckily the weather was pretty decent. The clouds dissolved in the afternoon and it turned into a nice day. Even in the morning when it was overcast and cloudy it wasn’t too cold.
It snowed all night long last night and it must have snowed hard because there was about 4-5 inches of snow on the ground when I woke up. That’s right, on the ground.
