Firkin--

After a too short browse of your Antarctic photos, I think we should  
all give you a  sabbatical on shopping FOM2 around.

The stuff you brought back is simply wonderful and deserving of a  
book itself. The colors, the forms, the atmosphere, are all beautiful.

But they don't make want to be there;^)
