If you want to stay at your desk, clean some data. Anything messy will do. Or unsubscribe from email lists and delete emails. If you are willing to venture back out, go for a walk or go up and down the stairs a few times. Muttering to yourself optional. Hope your day improves!

#maptimeDavis met today! Every other week we have a community work session where people bring their own stuff to work on and ask each other for help as things come up. #maptime

We're GIS specialists, of course we're going to take a picture of the survey marker! (Found hiking near Mount Shasta)
Bronze USGS survey marker in a reddish gray rock. The letters in the center are worn, it says elevation above sea 8119

Looking forward to seeing you more! I have not yet started posting much, it's a little quiet over here, but having more mappy people around will be a boost. Definitely miss old mappy Twitter.

Transfer fees for money sent home by international migrants were nearly as high as US foreign aid in 2023
A bar chart comparing two financial figures from 2023. On the left, a blue bar labeled "Global transaction costs for money sent home by international migrants" measures $51 billion. On the right, a taller teal bar labeled "Foreign aid from the United States" measures $66 billion. The chart title indicates that global migrant transfer fees nearly matched total U.S. foreign aid in 2023. The data source information notes the OECD from 2024 and the World Bank from 2025, and it explains that "foreign aid" refers to net official development assistance. The graphic has a "CC BY" copyright indication.

Do you need any plums? Our tree is literally cracking under the weight of the fruit.

I try to do concurrently; I try to roll out a field collection procedure when the field collection starts, and that's a good chunk of the metadata (what does this field mean and how do you use it). Once collection starts, it's out of your hands and you're on to the next thing.

I am thinking about the same! I used to tow a bike trailer but my back doesn't like it anymore and the ankle biters that rode in it now eat a trunk full of groceries a week. Seems like a good option for around town.

I was going to be doubly outraged that they used government funds to purchase my private data, but at least they only paid peanuts for it /s

There’s an app for that (or a database anyone) bc everyday Americans are heroes sometimes :-)

You can see the ophiolite sequence from that book, and pillow basalts, near Monticello Dam on Hwy 128, east of Winters, CA, in Yolo County.

They are the worst. Happened to me once on a round of golf, was up all night soaking my legs in a cold bath. Ended up with prescription hydrocortisone, which I highly recommend.

Cheesecake, or really anything, from Pumpernik's deli in Hallendale, FL. And my grandma's blintzes.

Remember Pumpernik’s? The last of the originals closed years ago. But there was a revival
A reopened Jewish deli in Hialeah has brought back home-made corned beef on rye back to Miami-Dade. And lots of memories of a once-common site in South Florida.

I'm teaching a #maptimeDavis workshop tomorrow on drawing maps by hand! The whole point is just to have some fun. Ok, and maybe learn a little cartography. #gischat

I did use it as a kick in the pants to finally learn QGIS, and I'm glad I did, I really like Q. And I now manage an Esri Enterprise system so yeah, lots of ArcPro. You really will like Pro so much better than Map. Msg me if you need a boost! #gischat
