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.

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.

Good to hear from you. I hope you are *well* compensated out there. :) Don't lick any flag poles.

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.
