Heard a rumor that, starting next summer, McMurdo will only be selling wine and beer in the store and booze will only be sold at the bars due to budget cuts. Where this becomes problematic is for the winter when the bar is B.Y.O.B. most of the nights.
True enough. On the other hand, I am sure that it has not escaped you that *our* esteemed leader didn’t even make a perfunctory effort this year (and his recent greetings struggled to reach the standard of “perfunctory.”)

Actually, I think you’ve got it backwards: God’s hand is the Antarctic.
Thanks A, you’re right.
In the Sistine Chapel painting, God is on the right. The Chilean Antarctic Institute reversed the image to match the shapes of the continents better.
In the reverse, with Chile representing Man’s lifeless hand, it would seem that Chile, among all other nations, has been chosen by God.
In any case, traditional Midwinter greetings are charming for their informal friendliness, whereas this one has territorial overtones.
