colloquialisms from the antarctic world

a couple of good sayings popped up this week. for starters, from fire school:

“when you’re going into a fire, don’t make a fuel of yourself or you’ll turn out to be an ash.”

and, as i wait for final confirmation on my travel to antarctica one week before my supposed departure date:

“semper gumby,” translated, “always flexible.”

nothing in this program is set until it actually happens.

now, off to more burning buildings!
