Saturday: Hili dialogue

Where are we now? The Amundsen is circled in red on the maps of the South Shetland Islands. Click on the green bar at the lower left to follow the ship.

Our plan is to land at Yankee Harbour, an inlet of Greenwich Island, and an area with a large colony of penguins. I will take new pictures there.

More life is reported by the encyclopedia.

As well as mosses, lichens and algae, the flowering plants Antarctic hairgrass and Antarctic pearlwort occur. The site has been identified as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International because it supports a breeding colony of about 5000 pairs of gentoo penguins. Skuas, Wilson’s storm petrels and snowy sheathbills are also thought to nest there. Southern elephant seals, Weddell seals and Antarctic fur seals regularly haul out on the beaches.

You can see the peninsula from the bottom of the Drake Passage. The person is Severa.

Our first land is visible from my balcony. The islands are not on the mainland.

March 5, 2020 is the worst snack in the history of the world on National Cheese Doodle Day. They taste like gasoline puffed up with air and salt.

Hili shows herself down with the lingo in Dobrzyn.

Kulka: What are you doing? Hili: I’m exercising my privilege.

Hili: Korzystam z mojego przywileju.

From me, but definitely not like me.

Jean says this is an old favorite.

The latest in the Russia boycotts makes Russian cats suffer, and it sounds too far for me. I wonder if a Russian Blue cat counts, even if not owned by a Russian living in Russia.

A major international cat federation with members in 40 countries is banning Russian cats from its competitions for 3 months over Russia's attack on Ukraine, saying it "cannot just witness these atrocities and do nothing."

Food for thought or anxiety is what comes from Ginger K.

My doctor and I were discussing my anxiety and she said "Brains are made to keep us alive. They're not made to keep us happy." And I can't stop thinking about that.

The Czechs had an invasion by Russia in 1968. I don't think Zelensky will win, and I hope the Russians don't kill him. This is his moment.

President Zelensky addresses tens of thousands of anti-war protesters in Prague tonight:

“If we win—and I’m sure we will win—this will be a victory of the whole democratic world.“

Nobody knows why the woodcock walks this way.

The early bird gets the worm! So is the case with the now famous Bryant Park Woodcock. I admit that I gasped as I turned the corner and saw it doing its rhythmic walk. #birds #birdwatching #birdcpp #nyc #urbanlegend #mymorningwalk pic.twitter.com/DkxUTUGDEd
