This absolute monster salmon was just trapped in Snæfellsnes. They took his sperm for deep freezing and let it go again.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Nestled in dense woodland in West Cornwall, the Forest House (1975) by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson elevates gracefully on concrete piers above boulders, clad in green-stained timber and framed by bold red industrial glazing to merge architecture seamlessly with nature.

September rainfalls: CoCoRaHS citizen science summaries confirm another very dry month. Most locations well below the 90-120mm normals... blue stations less than 50 percent of normal. Again the Annapolis Valley was remarkably dry.

The parents in my kids' school district will flip their lid when we're told that all the meat served in our schools is Halal but won't bat an eye of news reports of consistently mediocre results in French comprehension at the grade 8 level. Smdh.
