Lighting Up

My spirits have been up, probably due to the sun coming back most of all. We also had a two day weekend which went way to fast, but it sure makes a difference for morale.

On Friday we had our 'Mass Causualty Incident Drill", which basically is a practice for an event in which a handful of people are injured. This one took place in the power plant and Dainella did a great job prepping Dan, Paul and Dave who were all injured or unconscious in the smoky power plant:

All I had to do was "man" the control room, since Dan, the Power Plant Supervisor was one of the victims. That made for a pretty relaxed drill from my end of things, plus we had a great view of the power plant floor and the fire team extracting the victims:

That evening we had a 'Ladies Night' and Travis and Richard chivalrously delivered us dinner in the lounge the farthest from the galley. It was almost like being at a restaurant, but we didn't have to pay. Lots of fun and laughs talking to all the women. (Yes, those are real flowers on the table that Terry grew in the greenhouse):

Here is some proof that light is returning to our neck of the woods. Dainella and I stepped out on the deck real late on Friday and were completely floored since the clouds were completely gone and you could finally see the sunrise getting started.
