tealinIf you grew up in the 80s, you probably remember a certain thread in anti-drug-abuse education that ran thus:
There are some drugs that are so powerful, you only need to try them once – just once! – and you're addicted FOR LIFE.
Well, I think that might have happened to me in Alberta in February ... I'm back in the archives, and reading Cherry's description of, admittedly, the Antarctic summer (in this case that of 1912/13) so emphatically evoked memories of trudging up to Nose Hill through old but dry snow in a light breeze, I could almost taste it again, and felt a visceral pull to get back there.
They really ought to warn you about such things.

Might as well go for soda

One that doesn't sparkle in the sun
Or eddy like driven snow
One that won't distract me
away from the new
back in time to the time
Experienced by Cherry and his crew:
Antarctic summer cold and true.
