In 2020 I set a goal to read 12 books. I read 6.

In 2021 I set a goal to read 12 books. I read 20.

In 2022 I set a goal to read 24 books. I read 40.

If you don't have a cargo bike you might wonder how much they might actually get used. Are they worth it?

I got my first cargo bike almost 15 years ago and I think it's safe to say it's been life-changing. That first Saturday, my wife and I took it dancing, took it shopping, took it to the dump, the grocery, to a friend's house. Finding half a dozen uses for a cargo bike was an easy thing to do.

Thrilled that wonderful #NoreenRiols, one of the last female members of the #SpecialOperationsExecutive SOE French Section, has today received an #MBE. She has dedicated it to her fallen comrades, as I remember her dedicating all her talks.
Her story is told in her memoir #TheMinistryofAgandFish. Congratulations Noreen!

Great grey owl, Ontario, Canada, what a handsome bird.

Did you know that Bing maps often offer a much better resolution than Google maps, especially for more remote locations? Here is a comparison for Big River in Newfoundland.

One of the biggest myths out there about volcanoes on Earth is that, for some reason, #eruptions are increasing. They're not! In fact, the number of erupting #volcanoes each year is remarkably steady. If anyone ever tells you otherwise, point them this way:

The NYT had to change the first line from “She made a mean beef stroganoff…” to “She was a brilliant rocket scientist…”
