They called Weather Condition 1 intermittently throughout the day. This is the view from my garage! There's usually a 230m mountain visible from this vantage

For the first time in thirteen years travelling with my goggles I got stopped by the TSA for a suspicious object. They actually called in the explosives expert 💩

"Because you have a battery and a switch"

Like find me someone in this line who doesn't lol

I built a LEGO model of Shackleton's Endurance in Antarctica, and recreated some of Hurley's historical photographs of the ship trapped in the pack ice.

Tourist season has begun. Encountered an excursion of passengers at Scott's Discovery hut last night. The beach was guarded by this Adelie Penguin
