Photos of the Day: Oz, Tim, Rob & Kimik the dog!

The three webcams are back up and running. Yours truly can be seen on webcam 3 when I'm in the office tent. The webcams update every few minutes and make use of new PlanetNet wireless technology, a Canadian Space Agency funded experiment.

As you can see, it's officially rainy and foggy today! We're expecting a similar weather trend for the next 3 days. Everyone is carrying on with their research as usual, with the addition of rain gear and a tarp or two.

We saw another great evening lecture by Robert Ferl and Anna-Lisa Paul (both from the University of Florida) titled "Life to the Moon and Mars: Analogs for Space and Astrobiology". I have been doing a full written report on each lecture. It exercises my brain and keeps me busy, which is what I have decided I will need to make it through another month! This is not easy. I miss my kitty, Baloney.

[As a side note, notice how Baloney's website resembles Astronomy Picture of the Day]

The wind really picked up in the evening. Everyone made sure their tents were secure before hunkering down. It was loud in my sleeping tent. It always sounds worse from inside of those things than it really is outside, but the noise sure makes it hard to sleep.

over and out.
