"UK's largest lake 'dying' as algae blooms worsen"
#UK #UnitedKingdom #Environment
"Whose woods are these?" somebody says.
"His house is up the road a-ways;
He will be glad that we have stopped
To save his woodland from the blaze."
The fire crew assemble here
To act despite the danger near
Between the burn and shrinking lake
The driest season of the year.
Our leader gives his head a shake
And ponders the best course to take.
"The only thing to do," he says,
"Is try to cut a fire break."
The woods were lovely, dark and deep,
But then the fire made its leap,
And gave us promises to keep,
And fires to fight before we sleep.

Good Morning #Canada
One of the most influential Canadians that most of Canada has never heard of was Elijah Harper (March 3, 1949 - May 17, 2013). He served with distinction as a politician in Manitoba, serving as minister of Northern Affairs. Harper is best known for the role he played in scuttling the Meech Lake Accord, for which he was named the Canadian Press newsmaker of the year in 1990. The Meech Lake Accord was an attempt by then Prime Minister Mulroney to gain acceptance of the constitution by Quebec. The proposed amendments, negotiated in secret by the 11 Premiers, would have eroded federal powers by granting the provinces and territories more rights over key areas.
Without Harper's stubbornness, Canada’s federal powers would have been weakened, and we very well could have ended up splintered like the USA.

A lot of things have changed in the 7 years since I took this video on a perfectly still lake in Eden Vermont.
Back then, I’d take a September solo trip to pick up a friend’s Collected Works allotment at Hill Farmstead. That programme doesn’t exist anymore, and COVID kind of ruined some of the things I loved about Vermont… and now… a different kind of ruining, I guess.
I deeply miss what were simpler times—and we didn’t even know it, then.

I did a test run for riding down to Riverwest24 next weekend.
I've never done this route, and any previous rides to the lake have been in a group. (Hello Scrappy Hour!) Center was a bit better than North, even though North has some better bike lakes in some parts (and worse in others) but overall drivers on North were much worse than on Center.
See all you punks and bike people next Saturday!

“Wels” is the German word for catfish (the fish, not the deceptive online action). After a giant catfish nibbled on the the toes of bathing people in Bavaria, police shot the fish dead. Now there’s a second catfish on the loose. This is all very exciting in a country that sees relatively few police shootings of dangerous fish. Also, “Wels” is a fun word to say and sounds similar to “Welt” (world), great pun potential.

After rushing to shut downthe government-funded media outlets she was tapped to lead,
Kari Lake has launched on a mission so strange that it is perhaps unprecedented:
She is trying to force her own employees out of the country.
Lake has been making the rounds on right-wing media in recent weeks to pitch herself as a devoted enforcer of Donald Trump’s broader agenda.
Her latest targets are J-1 visa holders who worked for Voice of America.
Obscure to most Americans…

Oiumet Canyon, Ontario, #Canada, near the north shore of Lake Superior. The gorge is about 100 meters (330 ft) deep, by 150 meters (490 ft) wide. One hypothesis for its formation is it's a glacial outlet channel of Glacial Lake Agasssiz cut into Precambrian bedrock. Or, it may have formed by subglacial erosion.

In my opinion, Great Bear Lake doesn't get enough attention or respect. It is the largest lake entirely in Canada (Lake Superior and Lake Huron are larger but straddle the Canada–US border), the fourth-largest in North America, and the eighth-largest in the world. The lake has a surface area of 31,000 square km and a volume of 2,234 cubic km. Its maximum depth is 446 m with an average depth of 71.7 m. In the winter, ice hijghways are opened across Great Bear Lake to supply northern communities and provide heavy equipment for resource companies.
