yep, it is spring here too..
I'd post a pic of the place.., but I am travelling and have gear packed, and no
usb port on this public computer,I'll get a few posted when I get home..
today is the first plane day since thursday.. 6000lb of food came in to camp
this morning..we were out of eggs and bananas....
We have had white out conditions for the last 4 days, this only happens in the
spring..
-25C ( balmy) to -42C with 20-50km winds.. it has been kinda cold the last
month here..bare skin freezes in 30 seconds.... I fly home today for 2 weeks
off.. I've been here a month now..I really need a hot tub and a bottle of
scotch..somehow my wife doesnt understand that living in a tent in the arctic
for a month at a time warrants an immediate 10 oz of scotch upon arrival at
civilization...I survived another shift rotation with all my limbs
intact..although somewhat more looney...
Cheers.. Tim

Daffs here are about done. I took some shots with the Leica, but the film's not
back yet.
