OBAMA!!

Well America it looks like I'll soon have the pleasure of changing the name of my blog. On Tuesday Nov. 4, 2008 America grew, matured, evolved, however you want to say it. Yes I cried tears of joy that a black man was elected not because of his color but in spite of his color. I was incredibly proud of my country and I understand what Michelle Obama meant. I believe we once again have the world behind us. No there is no quick fix, anyone that thought there would be, with either candidate, is living in a strange drug induced dream world, yes I'm talking about that fat, pill popping lout Rush Limbaugh, who's website I checked out yesterday to see what dis-information he was pushing and yes he said Obama was back pedaling when during his acceptance speech he said it wouldn't be easy there would be false starts and a long road. Does Mr Limbaugh have immediate answers, would he solve 8 years of accruing problems overnight, no. He is an acidic, uneducated, babbling, buffoon. I wouldn't wish the presidency on my worst enemy but props to anyone willing to sign up for it. The hole that was dug by the Bush administration and 6 years of a republican congress is deep. We will all need to work together to solve our problems, but then again we are once again the "United" States of America, let's try to keep it that way.
Off the soap box and back in Antarctica where they continue to try and get flights in to the South Pole by all means of flying conveyance. We now have C130 Hercs, and Kenn Borek continues to fly it's Basler and Twin Otters toward the pole but they keep turning around and landing back at McMurdo due to weather problems. My room mate manged to get off to WAIS in one shot. WAIS is West Antarctic Ice Sheet where they drill down for ice cores and bedrock to figure out past climatology to help create future models for the planet. At McMurdo my painting continues and my fabulous non skid flooring for AGAP will be flying out soon. AGAP, well I'm not sure what the acronym stands for but I thought that Another Geeky Antarctic Project worked well. I guess they may have found a large mountain range under the ice and snow and will be flying twin otters back and forth over it with ground penetrating radar to map it. They think they will eventually be able to drill there and retrieve even older ice from the valley's around it than from WAIS. I wondered if this then made the WAIS project obsolete? I was told good question. Anyways I'm playing on a volleyball team now with some friends and we are undefeated. Tune back in to see if this tour de force continues. For now enjoy a new United States.
Cheers
