Going through old photos for a presentation. This view looking up the Halfway River from the Peace River is now flooded. Have one of the concretions as part of my office rock collection. Otherwise choss and sedimentary riprap at the bridge. But we are spoiled on the coast.

Going through old photos for a presentation. This was November 2009. Bill had more or less laid off all his staff (GFC and all) and it was just me and him auger drilling. I leaned that day that Caen is pronounced Kain in Chilliwack. Good crunchy sand and gravel there.

You are almost skidoo drunk at that point.

@astroalysa.bsky.social Probably old news to you. Cool news to me.

Drafting that would shame a grade 11 class who would have known the experience of living in a house. And having TA’d an engineering drafting class, that‘s a fail. To say nothing of code layout requirements.

I do something similar with goose. Get the oven hot, turn down to 315 and put the goose in. Goofed one year and left it hot for half an hour. Not the best that year. That is why it is temp down then in, and not in and then down.

@goingmedieval.bsky.social Can you help my astronomer friend out? Astrology is what comes to mind, a big astrological ephemeris.

(Canadian) I had to look up the texts in question. The first time I heard that one was 1990 when it featured Brian Mulroney, Hitler, and Stalin, except they were in an elevator with you. Did not end well for Mulroney as the PCs were reduced from majority to two seats at the next election.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

It is not just a UK problem. (Yes, it is not a Canadian reference, but it is what comes to mind for ’crime committed, police shoot others’.)

It seems I will be flying on one of the last of Air Canada’s pixelated shit tier livery planes. Good choice with the not so new one.

Santo Stefano in Bologna is one of my favourite churches to visit. A structure so old it predates a lot of conventional church elements. My only lament from my last visit is the holy nocino was not available in the gift shop.

You should hit up Hammer’s House of Hog for lunch tomorrow. Intersection is also a good winery for the soil jars. Silica and Alluvia Merlot.

If you want another display bird for your hanger there is the 419 Moose. Nice collection you have going.

I thought it was going to be the deterministic spectre that haunts seismic conferences. I was wrong.

Smashy smashy. Although, the geometry of this one is odd.

My brain says F4U Corsair, gifted with a life that almost overlaps mine. My heart says F6F which was not the best at really anything but good enough in enough ways to make it the best. My inner child rejects your categories and says the F7F is the coolest and best plane.
