Waiting for the next stage

[jay]

Of life, of this trip, of field work. I'm ready to go, or at least as ready as I'll ever be. Right now I'm still waiting in Resolute -- there was no after-dinner plane. Maybe late tomorrow morning... at least this gives me the chance to call customs myself about the impounded gravity meter.

Once all air traffic was cancelled, several of us went with the Co-op hotel manager on a tour of Resolute... all of the streets, the church, the RCMP post, the tank farm, the separate Catholic and Anglican cemetaries (surprising, considering the permafrost is only a foot below the surface) a WWII-vintage aircraft crash site, and the remains of an ancient Thule settlement. The photo shows me outside one of the excavated homes (note the muskox skull)...

This has been a good year for interesting travel for me... I don't know if the travel to Germany will happen, but Spain seems probable in September. I wish you could see this place.

Otherwise, good catch... yes, I got it cut during my outbound layover in Seattle. Thankfully... the curls and ringlets are OK, but long hair gets grimy when it can't be washed for a week at a time.
