Cool McMurdo Dorm Rooms

Compared to my small plain room these are really nice! It is amazing what some people do. All of these dorm rooms are in the main building 155 where the galley and several offices are located. During the summer months they house 4-6 people each. There are community bathrooms down the hall. The nice thing about winter is that everybody gets their own room. Where these people store all of their stuff is beyond me.

A real collector here!

And last but certainly not least...my digs! But it is cozy.

My biking friend Joseph from El Paso Texas sent me this link. Really cool views of several Antarctic spots:

After Friday's storm Saturday was very nice. We all had high expectations for a nice Sunday hike since the temperature had warmed up to -25 degF. Sunday morning was still nice but then the wind steadily picked up and chased everybody inside for the day. So my day was spent doing laundry, cleaning house, and one of my favorites 'reading and napping'. At least I stayed warm for once but it was kind of a boring day though.

My neighbor occasionally sends me 'Blasts from the past' pictures. I really like this one especially with the sun, ocean, beach and my boat. Thanks Chris.

What a nice day! I live 700 feet up from this beach.

My parent's home (the home I grew up in) in Oxnard, California sold in March. My son and I cleaned it out last December after my cross country bicycle ride with my daughter. A coworker of mine in Florida told me one time that he found a picture and small note in the attic of his recently purchased home from the previous owner. What a neat idea I said. So I put the following picture and note in the attic of our family home in Oxnard. I wonder if the new owner has found it yet?

My sister and I. My younger sister sitting next to me is deceased.

We certainly did!
