Hi All,
This is my first posting on this trip, and today was good. I started out at Fire School here in Arvada, CO learning how to fight fires and search for victims. At Palmer Station we'll have a fire brigade of about ten people so all of us get to train on how to fight structural fires and search for victims. Later that day I progressed to getting my teeth cleaned so that I could PQ (Physically Qualify) to go down to Palmer Station, Antarctica.

I passed the dental exam. Thanks to Mom and Dad for the good orthodontia.

Today was a good day, a really good day, and I hope you all had one, too.

Nota bene!

Hi All,

I'm here in Golden, CO, learnin' how to post blogs in Latin.

And learning how to put out FIRES.

Res Ipso Locquitor,
