Cup musings...

As befits a bunch of space cadets, our universal everyday beverage is Tang. It exists by the case, while the coffee and cocoa are gone.

Here on Devon Island we have a fine alkaline dust... probably similar to the playa dust at Burning Man, in some respects.

This dust combines with Tang to leave an orangey-brown sediment on the side of my cup. Three layers now. It is time to change to harder stuff...

Trudging

The weather has settled in... we can expect days of overcast, drizzle and sleet, with lots of wind. It isn't going to get better, so I felt today that we should press onward with the human-in-spacesuit tests... no breaks. No baths, no sleeping in.

New acronym: RMI, for AR-management-issue. Widely used around camp. [personal profile] hopeforyou can doubtlessly think of several AR-wrangling issues herself...
