This evening one of the very kind con organizers took us to the Vigeland Sculpture Park in Oslo, which is amazing and you should go and Gustav Vigeland was extraordinarily talented and probably does not deserve the narrative I constructed looking at his work.

1000 endangered sea turtles are alive because a biologist at USGS organized to save them. Federal scientists care deeply and their expertise is essential.
Their flippers were paralyzed, they couldn’t come up for air, and their heartbeats were barely perceptible.
But most of these 1,200 sea turtles were lucky. The currents carried their bodies ashore, where they could be saved — among Florida’s largest cold-water turtle rescues in the last 15 years.
