The Things People Do to Entertain Themselves

People find really interesting ways to entertain themselves down here, which I think is the case when no matter where you are if you're living in a semi-isolated environment. You just have to. I have a few examples.


A popular pasttime of some of my friends here is to switch clothes and take pictures. In this photo, you may or may not notice that Sandwich and Mykle have become each other. I wish I had a photo of the two of them together in their own outfits.

These next two photos are from two of the painters on station. Seems as though they had some time on their hands lately. They even posted these on the I-drive (the common drive that everyone can access and use to share photos).

My last example is that of Adam and Dale, two DA's (dining attendants) who had birthdays around the same time recently. They decided to make robot costumes for a party they were throwing themselves.

The first couple photos are from the party. I was talking with the robot, and then I asked him to slow dance.

A few days later, Adam and his friend Dave thought they'd bring one of the robots out to play around town.

The robot has the battery connection from the Delta stuck to him.
