So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good-bye...

Today, we bid adieu to The Captain of Outer Space, and welcome our new foreign correspondent, Mike.
Mike is heading off for greener pastures (if by "greener" you mean "arid" and by "pastures" you mean "not-quite-wasteland") for the next 6 months, and has promised to send back lots of photographs of things like sand dunes, shrubbery, and possibly some ligers.
I, unfortunately, am going to be stuck here in Ottawa, where we have recently been assured by an assortment of tunnel-dwelling rodents that we can expect another 6 weeks (at least) of freezing temperatures and midnight snow ploughs. There will likely be much twiddling of thumbs before I get to embark on my next big adventure: climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in July.
