Love:
A blip on the monitor of involuntary human response, a hiccup of emotion when compared with envy... hatred... lust.
And just who was this... St. Valentine?
A Bishop. Roman 3rd Century, got his head sliced off... ouch... for marrying lovers against his Emperor's decree.
You see Claudius the Second believed that men made better warriors unmarried.
Power comes with the absence of love. Love... drains us of our strength.
We never learn... do we?
And you say that love conquers all!
Well, not for you St. Valentine, not for me. Not for any of the... heart... broken.

Antarctic commuter flight

January 11th, 2008 by admin

Have you ever wondered where to take that special someone to propose marriage? This is a trip that will be remembered forever.

 

antarctic landing
Australian Federal Minister for the Environment Peter Garrett, takes in the view from the purpose-built Wilkins glacial blue ice runway in front of the first Airbus A319 jet to carry passengers from Hobart, Australia to Antarctica.

A license has been issued for airline Skytraders to fly passengers from Hobart, the capital of the southern island state of Tasmania, to Wilkins aerodrome, near the Australian Antarctic Division’s Casey Station.
The runway is 4 kilometers long, 700 meters thick and moves about 12 meters southwest a year because of glacial drift.
It is located some 70 kms from Casey Station.

The 3.400 kilometers flight is expected to take around four hours in each direction.

—-I found no mention of ticket price. Primarily because, at this point in time, it is designed to carry scientists not tourists.

My advice is to write them. If there appears to be enough demand I’m quite certain some sort of eco-tourist arrangements can be made.
