This mountain snow in the U.S. West is desperately needed--snowpack has reached record low levels for time of year in many locations & will fall even further behind until early next wk, when there will likely be *some* recovery. TBD just how much; the existing deficits are huge.

An exquisite, accidental juxtaposition at the top of the front page of the Arizona Daily Star today. In the photo, a demonstrator in Minneapolis is arrested by ICE agents. On the rail, Trump tells Iranian protesters to "KEEP PROTESTING -- TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS."

Before GIS there were fire atlases - all analogue, with printed topo maps, data entered with heavy colored pencils, hard bound in canvas. Here's one from the Kaibab National Forest that was rescued, scorched, from a fire in the supervisor's officer. A fire(d) atlas?

X-C skied Lower Lake Mary today. Adequate wind-compacted snow coverage. It felt good to get back on skis.

Ugh.
COMMENTARY: Putting Steve Pearce at the helm of BLM would put Arizona’s cherished landscapes at risk of being stripped of protections, ransacked by extractive industries and sold to the highest bidder.
Trump’s Bureau of Land Management nominee threatens Arizona’s public lands
President Trump recently nominated Steve Pearce — an anti-environmentalist obsessed with selling off public lands — to run the nation’s largest land management agency.

I wrote a nonet today (nine line poem with descending syllables). Someone here on Bluesky introduced me to the form and I'm forgetting who, so reintroduce yourself if that's you.
