This inspired me to go find the ancient file folder of ticket stubs. (But I went to Red Rocks in 95, not 94.)

However, I do have the notes that were tucked in with tapes from various people...

Bwahahaha.

Of course, I graduated with my bachelors in the late 80s, and my perception was driven by the lack if geology jobs for my cohort (both undergrad and grad school).

In the early 2000s, I had a conversation with one of the AGI folks who presented those projections (at AGU?). They were based on assuming replacement of retiring geologists, especially in oil and gas.

I thought that was a bad assumption, give the boom/bust nature of any extractive industry.

I had to look back and see which ones were first and last, because I was wondering what pikas do
if you get too close.

What I love most about browsing their site: seeing things that Lauren designed after watching our students be confused (without learning useful stuff while struggling).

Wait! That was a river otter in the ocean that I'm thinking about.

Erase the sea otter and replace it with the Common Loon.

It was in the Alaska tundra.

It snarled at us.

I should find a way to fit in Chick Corea in Minneapolis on a student rush ticket in the 80s, too.

Every time I see LLM-generated garbage, I gotto Jibboo it and then avoid using the company that tried to force it on me.

I was just thinking about how Carleton-style geothermal (as opposed to the high heat-flow geothermal out here) could help New England reduce the winter stress on their grid. It's really brilliant.

One of our middle schools is anchoring the beginnings of a local microgrid.

... oh no you're poking Charlie ... don't poke Charlie, you'll get 30 years of arguing...

Ours is similar - but now people in red zones can add solar if they also get battery storage and don't feed electricity into the grid.

LOL, it's been fed 30 years of your rants, and this is what it spits out as the statistical probability.

(David, hope things are ok with your mom.)

I think @erthsarah.bsky.social had a handheld XRF and used it with undergrads while she was still in Ohio? Might have a different CUR councilor, though.

David Gonzales got one a few years ago, when the new building opened.
