Me on a bike ride

Me in front of a huge barrel of Chianti

A really good pasta

A nice coffee outside

Biking is Tuscany, and eating and drinking wine and coffee, is very good.

U.S. State Department greenlights potential sale of $2.4B mobile rocket system to Canada | CBC News The U.S. State Department has given Canada the green light to potentially purchase 26 M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) and related equipment for an estimated cost of $2.4 billion, ...

Canada getting HIMARS 👀👀 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Always big talk no walk.

Its like Canada and high speed rail 🤣

He can’t even quote Jesus correctly 😂😂

A fox family was hanging out outside our hotel in Yellowknife. I resisted the urge to pet them (barely). 🦊💛

Remember when Turkey shot down a Russian fighter jet in 2015 and Russia did absolutely nothing even though they claimed it was not in Turkish airspace? When armed MiGs violate NATO airspace, I think of this.

Ford, set to ban speed cameras, muses about cameras to fight crime instead | CBC News Ontario Premier Doug Ford is set to soon ban speed cameras across the province, but is now musing about "cameras on crime" instead to target stolen cars and home invasion suspects.

I see this headline and feel obligated to point out: speed limits are the law. The cameras already are quite literally being used to detect people committing crime.

But no, he means crimes like theft (of cars), not crimes against people using cars.

Ice wedge polygons

Pretty ice rich lookin terrain

Lots of ground ice on Prince of Wales Island, Nunavut. I mean, look at that terrain!

What are you asking?

which allows a range of conditions to be represented for each pixel on what will be a new national map. End

…represented in the area. It also shows how these units have been parameterized in the areas we’ve mapped in the past, and flags if params have differed among areas. Also made a tool so we can generalize outputs with bigger pixel size while storing sub pixel heterogeneity in the attribute table 3/

We are learning lots along the way, and improving the model workflow to automate it. It’s now quite sweet: outline an area you want to model, and python code takes control of computer, downloads all surf geo maps, combines and rasterizes them, and spits out summaries of all the units and legends /2

Our latest ground ice mapping. This time improved maps of the Mackenzie Valley and Delta regions, both areas with significant existing and proposed infrastructure. Behind the scenes we are modelling away in other areas toward Ground Ice Map of Canada V2 1/ www.researchgate.net/publication/...

I like shawarma and I just tried Osmows for the first time and I thought you should know I enjoyed it and I’m glad it’s in YYZ cuz it’s a tasty and affordable option. Thanks and goodnight.

I’m gonna miss the Permafrost Terminology Action Group of the Canadian Permafrost Association. Most of us made it to GeoManitoba 2025 for the Glossary launch and photo op 🙌 #scicomm

Thank you! Yes, I’m very happy with how the hierarchy, relations, and hyperlinks work in the pdf. Appreciate the kind comment ☺️

Dr Toni Lewkowicz launching the glossary!

IT’S ALIVE! The Glossary of Permafrost Science and Engineering is released and available to all for free! Spread the news! You can download it here: canadianpermafrostassociation.ca/glossary-of-...

There’s also a typo/wrong word just out of the picture… it’s not perfect, but it’s permafrost beer 😄

Yes. I do love a good English pub style ale. Just nice and malty, not much carbonation, oh so good

She’s a beauty 😍

I can only assume we must consider a 3 layer system with the ice wedge top at the permafrost table, even tho the layers are the same colour! 🤣

Well, now I see that 🤣🤣

A can of beer

We made the big leagues

I’d be happy with a friend like you! Great gift!

Well I’m sure the MAGA leaders did, but not most of the voters.

That’s awesome, it should be required reading everywhere. You’re lucky!
