Still On The Road

We started heading back from Denver yesterday. Spent the night in Durango (where we had what seems to be a new Colorado cuisine — Nepalese), and heading down through Monument Valley this morning, with plans to end up for the night at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Not sure what connectivity will be like there.

[Sunday-morning update]

I had connectivity in the park via my phone, but decided to just relax. If you have only been to the south rim, I highly recommend the north. It’s more spectacular, in my opinion, and much less crowded, due to the fact that it’s much more remote, and can’t just be driven through. In Phoenix this morning, and headed back to LA a little later. Back to business as usual then, except I’ll be headed up to the New Space conference on Wednesday.

    1. I performed a follow up experiment; I place two dozen bees in my neighbor’s microwave. Keep your damn labradoodle off of my lawn, Steven!

      1. You are not too far off track friend. The bee problem is caused by microwave spectrum interference from modern cellphone networks…

        Or would be if I wasn’t just making shit up.

    2. I found your comment there unhelpful and a bit too off-putting in tone.
      Sure, there’s no information in the news report about the study published in Science mag which justifies the leap to causation from AGW or whatever its called this week, but it sounds like (not having access to the Science mag itself) the study itself is just an analysis of geotagged bee-census data.
      It sounds like that alone was not sexy enough for the Alberta Farm Express writer and the various commenters from Science, which leads to all their speculation about causation, and the scary ideas about “assisted migration”.
      I would have criticized the article for two things:
      – There’s no link to, or detailed quotes from the study itself. That’s internet sin #1, as everyone should know by now. Hell, that’s practically what HTML was invented for (Thanks, Tim!)
      – There’s no attempt at all to show data backing up the claimed correlation with AGW. The question is simply begged. That’s just bad (or mendacious) argumentation.
      Sigh, another day, another piece of crappy science reporting.
