Having a coffee in my hometown café, happen to sit next to an old professor of mine as he is grading papers on burial practices and laughing to myself remembering how incredibly last minute I handed in that exact same paper

Betty Reid Soskin, the National Park Service’s oldest ranger, has died. She was 104.

Recommend me some good non-fiction books about anything. I struggle to keep up with/engage with non-fiction. Thank yewww

Welcome to YYC, where your flight will be delayed and you'll change gates atleast twice before you board the plane

There's still a part of me that wants to do a pop-punk album where I have a song dedicated to Alex Trebek, and one dedicated to Bob McDonald.

Back on the Berhana train, and man this album rips hard. Amén: (The Nomad's Dream) by Berhana

More time off and trips 2026

If this archaeology thing doesn't pan out, im going to pastry school because I nailed my first batch of crossiants today

Project manager and I are on the same wavelength today

Ive been listening to Sade's Love Deluxe on repeat for a week, so I suppose that tells you where im at, mentally That album is pure perfection, by the way, I will not hear otherwise

Here’s a fun, seasonally appropriate cover of a lesser known Chuck Berry tune by the fabulous Groovie Ghoulies (who have many great cover songs). Happy Halloween! youtu.be/pCULLwKB7bI

Why aren't people consistent with sediment descriptions, and why does this particular thing drive me insane

Ive had Rattlesnake by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard stuck in my head all day

5/6 of my tuning pegs are cracked, and one finally fell off. I am very annoyed

Does anyone need some tomatoes?

I've watched approximately 5 hours of Golden Girls this weekend

Im learning how to properly play eighth notes and everything is a disaster

Baby teeth were too stubborn to fall out, so I had most of them (12? 13?) pulled. Also had a stubborn canine tooth that would not descend, so I spent a few years as a teen with a big gap. Had surgery to basically pull it down into place. My teeth are too big for my mouth, causing TMJ issues.

Sharing again: historical archaeology friends!! 🙏

Historical Archaeologists: Does anyone have any resources regarding perfume/cologne/fragrance glass bottles? General info/seriation types/ so forth is good. Google is proving to be un helpful. Im certain (like 80%) that a perfume bottle that came through my lab can't be older than 1940

I caved, and couldn't not get this

On Monday, my truck died in the bush and I hitchhiked to the nearest town and used a landline phone to call a tow truck. Today, I quite literally walked up to a bear in the bush, and rather than staying calm, my hamster brain caused me to BOOK* it out of there, while yelling

Im trying to finish my book before my 3 hour drive to work, and my favourite character just died within the last few chapters

Tree Core Analysis: Cons: - tedious, makes you cross your eyes - pull a broken up sample is a nightmare to puzzle back together - makes my back hurt Pros: - the lab smells like fresh pine

Give me Indiana Jones doing US CRMArch and spending a week on call for a monitoring project budgeted for one day of work due to repeatedly encountering unmarked, unknown utilities.

Wildlife spotting results after 2 weeks in the bush (Including 2 flat tires that we had gotten)

Years ago I was on a project recording an African American beneficial society cemetery. The markers had been buried, including that of John Q.A. Potts. Born in Louisiana in the late 1840s/early 1850s, he was in Galveston, Texas by 1862. Which means he was likely present at the original Juneteenth.

(Not sure if the volume will work, but Note: Loud Volume Warning) Pretty sweet being eye-level with a helicopter in the bush.

Howard Shore is a LEGEND and hearing the soundtrack in a theater surround sound was perfect, especially during the moments of the Rohirrim riding down to Helm's Deep and the Ents taking over Isengard

Saw the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Extended Edition in theaters tonight, and it was beautiful, and I cried

When will archaeology/CRM companies realize that there are folks who have training in archaeological illustration and photography that they could hire rather than using AI

There was so much Labrador tea in the block today that my pants smell like tea. I have never in my life, LEFT a block smelling better than I did going in.

Just finished my first hand-drawn site map in over a year, and I want to frame it and put it above my desk.

No shopping lists or to-do lists are safe in our household

I had a mildly chaotic past few days, at no one's fault but my own. Now I'm finally editing spatial data, and I have zero energy. Today is the first day all week have had a break from the heat. It's currently grey, overcast, and windy. I would LOVE a nap on the couch right now

Found a site this week! A single surface find. On an active gravel road. But we found a site!

When people use my sediment descriptions as an example: 🥰🥰 When people copy and paste my sediment descriptions in their own notes: 😠😠

My coworker said that I look like I have really good taste in music YEARS OF PLAYLIST CURATION ALWAYS PAYS OFF

I was just at a bookstore hoping to pick up Joe Abercrombie's new book, and there was another guy there looking for the same book, and threw a huffy fit that they didn't have it in stock I've never seen that in real life. It was mildly entertaining, to be honest.

It's very nice to work with a machine operator who is super interested in archaeology and the why's and will ask great questions without getting all conspiracy theory about it
