Greetings old friends!

It's been awhile since I've been around, but I thought you guys and gals might be interested in where I'm going.

I'm headed to Antarctica! I leave home on Wed. Oct. 7, and after a few stops along the way, I'm due to arrive at McMurdo Station, Antarctica on Tues, Oct. 13. I'll be there until around March, 2010 working as a Fire/EMS dispatcher for the McMurdo Fire Department.

If you are interested, you can follow me here: http://www.scottafar.com (my name IRL is Scott).

I hope everyone at The Glade is doing well, and aim to pop in every now and then as time allows.

~Fyrfytr

Welcome back, Fyrfytr! And good luck...

A lot of people here will be very sad your daily log of dumb calls to 911 will be finished with.

Leaving just in time for summer in Antartica. Have a great time, hug a penguin for us.

Glad you found us again!

Sounds fun...just how many people are at McMurdo, anyways? Never realized they needed the services of a professional EMS dispatcher.

Oh, and WB!

Welcome, and, farewell! I toyed with the idea of working in Antarctica 20-odd years ago. Sounds like a fun adventure.

Great you found us again! And that sounds like an exciting opportunity!

Now, if you'll just pardon my schadenfreude while I imagine you getting emergency calls about the penguins waddling across the road and making somebody late to their dinner date.

Pretty sure he's back in the states now, eh?

He was only supposed to be down there until March '10, from what I recall.
