Great pictures of the lunar eclipse, thank you! I couldn't see it in PA, due to cloud cover. Glad to see Anita's making herself useful. ;) You can’t fool me – I know you were just biding your time, waiting for your opportunity to fly kites over the taiga!

Every accomplishment is even more impressive. Thanks for taking the time to do the show and tell for us. I can't wait to drop this ("sondes", etc.) into some sort of cocktail party chatter:-) Sending love. I am simply amazed at how the cold affects everything you do – nothing is simple up there at all.

You make the whole experience a great adventure for me and, except for the cold, wish I could experience it also. Keep it up---I am enjoying every word you write.

Your reports and photos almost make me feel that I am participating, albeit vicariously, in your activities without having to leave the comfort of my centrally-heated house! Many thanks.

When the Spring thaw arrives, maybe a local inhabitant will find your sondes. They will make a cute pair of lamps. It's a good thing Wilbur and Orville picked balmy North Carolina for their fantastic feat. Your illustrious ancestor 'Balloon' Tytler would be proud. Those wind-chills are fierce. British radio just reported this as the coldest winter since l966 -- the phrase "global cooling" was employed. I'm not making this up. Hope somebody tells The Goracle. Love Anita's cool (!) backpack, and wonder whose logo it bears. Where is her snowboard?? I hope you're all using sun block. We sightseers down here are enjoying these reports.
