On FB, Yukon Geological Survey posted some spectacular photos of landslides & snow avalanches triggered by the magnitude 7.0 earthquake on Dec 6 in the St Elias Mountains. Here are some of my favs.

Just finished STRATA, and was entirely absorbed. Definitely one of my 2025 favorites!

Screw it let's just give a preview now. If you make things and you want to sell to retailers, here are a few tips: 1. Most retailers need wholesale discounts ~30-50% 2. If you want a small business to take a chance on your product, offer a low order minimum (at first). 1/?

I've joined the jolly Independent Map Sellers and let me tell you, there are some fantastic gifts here! I have a few prints available (heads up Chicago fans, Wendell Berry fans) ... and I'm going to be leaving town, so order by Dec. 3 for delivery before Christmas. 🗺️🎁

It's great to see this dimension of the affordable housing crisis getting more attention: new housing units have outpaced population growth in every Maine county since 1970.

Maine is building homes faster, but they are emptier
Often-overlooked numbers show how fewer people are living together, inadvertently contributing to Maine's housing crisis.

Small afternoon rant: we need to stop talking about the ocean in terms of “secrets” & “mystery”. That tends to be an excuse for not actually looking at its wonderful (known) richness properly. It’s not a void… it’s a fascinating physical part of Planet Earth. We know a lot and we will know more! 🌊

With salt marshes being squeezed between rising sea levels and the built environment, this is an excellent story to follow. Variations of this have worked in Mississippi and may work in Maine.
