Crazy Weather Week
Hi! Sorry I’ve been MIA for a while - it’s my first week flying solo in Bevvy Land and it’s been a challenge some days…AND we’ve had some of the wackiest weather they’ve had at Mainbody. Last night we got stuck at Southern Exposure, the smoking bar, in Condition 1 and had to stay there about a half an hour until it lifted a bit. Here I am in Condition FUN!
I am also in Condition Fun in these pictures because I finally had my Ann Curry experience - she bought a round for all at Gallaghers when I was there, and let us take lots of pictures and stuff. She’s proved to be quite a nice guest here from all I’ve heard, and meeting her yesterday has not changed my opinion. So here is Ms Curry, myself, and my friend Dusty. Not the best picture ever, we all look different degrees of scary, but my record of the Today Show visit.
My Polie friends have been stranded here in Mactown for a week (wearing the same clothes every day I might add!), the snow and wind is flying, C-17s are sitting in Christchurch as the people back up. But for those of us already down, and not waiting to go somewhere else, the wild weather has been great entertainment, and reminds us that we are on a harsh continent!
That is awesome! We’ve been watching the footage of her all week down on the ice! So neat. Looks a tad bit chilly though!
That’s so cool about Ann Curry! Great photo. I’m glad she’s as nice as she appears to be. I tried to catch what could of the Today Show visit hoping you might of been in the crowd behind her.
Keep Warm!

… right … watch the Today Show … that’s right, that might’ve been a good idea …
Afraid it’s still not code fun here in the snowbelt, although we did see our first flakes outside of class last night.
Spent the past few days trying to track down some missing aluminum pipe we’d ordered to use in a student’s core project. Whee, that’s been fun. I’m expecting a long, cold, wet, muddy, miserable field day soon trying to get this core in and back out of the ground. On the other hand, it’ll be a learning experience!
Meep, says a Cari.
So you’re enjoying yourself, I take it? =D Good good! We all expect to see sunbathing pictures by the time your temperatures climb above freezing! And if we get the meters of snow again this year, I’ll have to send pics your way for commiseration.
