		<title>03-02-09: Hello Kansas!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s good to be home again. Flew in yesterday and had the little family greet me at the nearby Salina airport. (After I called to let them know I had landed!) They were sitting outside the tiny facility enjoying the nice temperature, and were just heading inside to check if I was on the little plane [...]]]></description>

		<title>02-16-09: Departure Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t believe my time here is over.  Although the WEATHER has drastically changed, so it&#8217;s time to get out before we&#8217;re stranded!  The &#8216;winter-overs&#8217; are here. They would like us &#8216;summer people&#8217; to go home so they can set up their dorm rooms and begin the winter season schedule!  I know how they feel, [...]]]></description>

		<title>02-12-09: EMPEROR PENGUIN !</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally, a little wildlife spotted!  As I drove out to Willy Field it was standing beside the road (sort of &#8211; off in the distance, but NEAR the road.)  I asked the pilots in my vehicle if they would like to stop and view it.  &#8220;NO&#8221;&#8230; poo&#8230;.. so I continued on to the Airstrip, dropped them [...]]]></description>

		<title>02-06-09: Photos added of Supply Ship</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have this morning off- so used the time (between loads of laundry to add more photos! The supply ship is close to be being UNloaded. Then it will be LOADED. They figure about 2&#38;1/2 &#8211; 3 more days.  The photos show the millvans that handle everything arriving. Food &#8211; tools &#8211; paper, it ALL [...]]]></description>

		<title>02-05-09: American Tern (Supply Ship)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The supply ship arrived!  She was about a day and 1/2 late, but finally is &#8216;parked&#8217; next to the ice pier. Once the ship was tied down/secured the 24 hour operation of off-loading began. We did bring in about 100 NAVCHAPS to assist with this. So far, everything is running smoothly. Since it is so [...]]]></description>

		<title>02-01-09: Preparing for the American Tern</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, here it is &#8211; February, my final month to enjoy in Antarctica. (Or half of a month &#8211; depending on my actual departure date!) The weather continues to &#8216;hold&#8217; &#8211; it&#8217;s been cold enough to help firm up the snow roads and transition area, but warm enough to still enjoy being outdoors in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>01-23-09: New Photos Added; Oden; Gianella; Mt. Erebus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had some time this morning to work on shrinking photos to add here. They will cover the Fuel tanker &#8211; Lawrence M. Gianella arriving to provide us with MILLIONS of gallons of fuel for another year. Also the Oden &#8211; Ice crusher, is back trying to break up all the ice around McMurdo Sound.

		<title>01-22-09: Mt. Erebus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well &#8211; yesterday the world watched Obama become our President.  Down here in Antarctica, the galley screen was transformed into a huge TV so that workers could watch the event as they ate. Normally, the big wall screen is used for lectures and slide shows only.  I missed the actual swearing in &#8211; but did [...]]]></description>

		<title>01-16-09: Oden the Ice Crusher</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oden has been &#8220;playing&#8221; around in the bay for a couple of days now &#8211; chopping up all the ice, in hopes the wind will push it out to sea. (So far it&#8217;s still sitting here &#8211; like a big glass of crushed ice.)  It would be awesome to see a lot of open water [...]]]></description>

		<title>01-12-09: The Oden Arrived!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The ship should (or might) pull into port sometime today. She is staged on the other side of Hut Point, and we can see her from town. I don&#8217;t know if she will run around the area &#8211; crushing ice &#8211; or come to the pier. I did not volunteer for lineman, so I won&#8217;t be [...]]]></description>
