We have returned safely from the Columbia trip. Details and pictures later, but I can tell you that we decided the Greeks had it all wrong. The four elements are really steel, steam, aerogel and pykrete. Everything is made of various proportions of them, and anything that includes all four is, by definition, completely awesome.
Also, now that I have caught up with the news, OMGWTFNAWLINS??!?! This is what I get for being out of touch for 3 days. A major city is slated for destruction. Totally apocalyptic. I think I know where the next canoe trip will have to be.
