Off season excitement, zombies, and lunacy

Just a short post of a couple of Youtube videos that took place at the old building up here. This time of year it is unlikely that a polar bear will happen by - although our two researchers Pete and Steve who snowmobiled south about 150 km did come across two the other day - but, hey, you never know. But the staff does let us roam by ourselves and even at night without protection. But it is spooky. Especially when I was out one night taking pictures and Lesya, another volunteer, said, "Hey, there's something moving out there." Turned out to be Andrew our other volunteer.

Anyways, these videos took place at the entrance to the old facility...

And, in what should have been a MST3K movie for sure, check out "Ice Man" if you can find it. It's a 1984 film about the discovery of a frozen Neanderthal that comes back to life and is filmed mostly at the CNSC using the rocket range buildings. I do have a copy of it I'll be bringing back but you probably have better things to do - although you MST3Kers would love it.

Tonight we will be invaded with 40 cub scouts for the night!

Also should mention that we went to the Polar Cinema in town last Saturday to see "Warm Bodies", a zombie love story that was pretty hilarious. Recommended.

Hoping for lights tonight as it has been a bit cloudy last couple of nights. Although we had an excellent orange (some say red) near-full moon rise last night... I think Linda has a better pic which I'll substitute below some time. Most of the sunrises and sunsets are spectacular, too.
