An Illness and almost Sunrise

For some strange reason I came down with pneumonia and spent time in Club Med - the South Pole medical center being infused with antibiotics. 

I like old stuff and in the medical center there is a display of old medical stuff.

I'm glad this wasn't used.

Within a few days I was back at work thanks to the medical staff supporting me in my office.

With excellent care from medical I was soon back to normal.

Jocelyn prepared her dog Yaki for Hurricane Irma.  It was quite the scary storm for my family since we are only 600 feet from the Atlantic Ocean in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Thanks to them and their help removing debris blocking the neighborhood street drains during the height of the storm there was minimal damage. 

During the end of the winter a Scott tent was pitched at the geographic South Pole. Photo credit to Martin Wolf. 

The Scott tent seen here was named after Robert Scott at the South Pole in 1912. Scott is to the right. 

Almost sunrise taken from my room a few days ago. All window coverings were removed two weeks ago.
