Thinking of the high water sign from ANEX, before and after the weekend.
Unfortunately I don't think it'll be warming any motorists of potential flood-prone roadways with all those stickers (including one from me!!) 😭

spotted some silly cast iron inlets while walking around the con!
here's some vaned grate inlets in a sag (low-point) of a parking lot, which are angled in both directions to better capture flow from the entire area
another common sight in OK are cast iron combo inlets (curb hood + vane grates)!

I forgot to add, I wound up writing my environmental regulations/policy term paper on the RRCCP! I figured I'd drop a link for anyone interested in reading more abt it:

lately I've been reading pretty extensively about the Red River Chloride Control Project, and this week I got the chance to go visit the largest of the few features that were actually constructed: Truscott Brine Lake!

earlier this week I got to attend some floodplain management trainings at the with Dallas Water Utilities, and while I was there I got a closeup look at Baker Pump Station! (which is actually three different pump stations, and is one of six PS along the main west/east levees of the Dallas Floodway)!

unfortunately being aware of any environmental issues means you think about politics every time you go outside and kind of want to tear someone’s face off
Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"
guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation
