How quickly things change around here. When I got up at 5:00AM to go to the gym yesterday, it was light. When I came home from my friends' radio show and the bar last night at 11:00 PM, it was still light.
With the hoards of new people also come hoards of fresh food. I just ate an apple, my first fresh fruit in about a month, and that's just the beginning! Yesterday we got 10,000 lbs of freshies! I don't know how I wintered and abstained for 5 months, not something I plan to do again (nor did I plan to do it once, don't worry mom, not wintering this year for sure!). The woman who served me beer last night and made me a fresh egg scramble this morning told me to except salad either at lunch or dinner today. Oh salad, I hope I've never taken you for granted, I love you, I miss you, I can't wait to eat you! And rumor has it there are avocados, too!
As for tablets, I cannot recommend them enough. Even without Internet, my tablet is so handy. I have loads of books, music, movies, TV shows, games, a cribbage board, all in one neat little 1.5 lb package. If anyone is in the market for a new laptop, I really recommend you check out a tablet first! I got an Asus EEE Transformer with a little keyboard that snaps on, and I love it, I use it every day. And that's without Internet!
Don't ask why I combined these two topics today, they are just what I'm most excited about!
Animal pics coming soon, seals on the sea ice daily now.
