Hello! My name is Eli Duke and right now I'm hanging out in Portland, OR.

I’m back in Antarctica!

ATTN: this post will always be on top. Keep scrolling.

That’s right. I’m back for another season on the Ice. This year I’m a General Assistant to the Plumbers, which is SO much better than working in the Kitchen. If you feel like sending me a postcard or something, you can send it to the following address:

Eli Duke, RPSC
McMurdo Station
PSC 469 Box 700
APO AP 96599-1035

If you’re sending a package, use a padded evelope (it’ll get here faster) and don’t use packing peanuts. If you’d rather communicate with me electronically you can keep an eye on this blog, follow me on twitter, check out my photos, or chat with me online at 5pm on Saturdays (PDT).

UPDATE! I got a pager! You’re probably wondering what’s so cool about that (I mean, it’s almost 2010 for crying out loud). Well, first off, it lets my friends around town find me if they need to, but more importantly it allows people back home (like you) to send me little messages. Just fire up a new email and put your message (200 characters max) in the subject line only (nothing in the body) and send it to 738@pg.mcmurdo.usap.gov.

    Well you are still alive I see. That is such a harsh continent that I did not know if you would make it off alive

  • Hanging out with Nate & The Weiner Kids: went on a bike ride, played Pirates & Sea Monsters, and now we're playing LEGO Indiana Jones (Wii). 7 hours ago
  • Nate and I watched HUMAN NATURE last night, and it wasn't very good. A bit surprising considering it was a Gondry / Kaufman joint. 8 hours ago
  • I leave for Antarctica exactly 2 weeks from today, Sept 16th, but I won't actually get to Anarctica until the 23rd. 11 hours ago

FLICKR

Some guy stuck in traffic with us was BLASTING his CB for all to hear: apparently it's a big rig on fire up ahead.

Jayce and I are on our way back to Portland, about 40 miles out, and we've come to a complete stop.

I did a Google search for "McMurdo APO" and lookwho popped up right at the top of the list: Mr. Cary Marger!
