A Return to Arms

It's going to come at you late, and its going to come at you fast. I feel like the paper is a week and a half late, and all of you are my patient teachers. I guess I owe you an apple . . .
But don't eat it all at once; savor the flavor of the South Pole, New Zealand, Tonga, Sydney, and Lake Michigan. There may not be anything interesting for a while . . . save Brooklyn and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
