Just a quick note to say that it’s Greenland National Day, so I hope you did some celebrating. More frustration yesterday and a little bit today…but the important thing is that I’m half way home. All downhill from here and before I know it I’ll be sweltering in the northeast. During all the struggles I have made a point to remember that this is a once in a lifetime experience and it should be enjoyed for what it is.
Apparently a contingent from the Danish parliament will be dropping by camp for lunch on Wednesday, so there’s something to anticipate. Of course I’ll probably be sitting out in my remote location doing ‘work’, so maybe I’ll catch it on the news.
Time for dinner now, so that’s it from here. -Jeff

Got some work done and potentially cool data, which I will share after doing a little more work on it. Then, we finally got that soccer game in tonight. A little more than an hour after dinner we got the game in, which was a pretty good time (as far as playing soccer goes:) I’m not sure how far I ran, but I’m down to a slim 140 so I’ll have to do a better job gorging in the next few days. Saturday is pizza night, so that will help!
The soccer game featured no out of bounds, 360-degree scoring, and no goalie (meaning no one could use their hands). The older folks lost, but it was a good effort and there’s always the rematch on Sunday. Here are a couple shots of the game, one of a radiosonde being launched tonight, one of a window replacement in the Big House earlier today, and another of the inside of the IC box that has the mist chambers…oh, and it looks like I’m on for tomorrow night (or at least a couple of my pictures), so check it out if you’re bored tomorrow night and online:
