Great Lakes states & provinces will have to get more serious about pollution, drinking water infrastructure, and cleanup/reclamation if current population levels are to be maintained, let alone growth due to a “climate haven” status. All the water in the world won’t matter if too polluted to drink.

I’m down to <200 unread messages and think payroll for an entire NASA Division is squared away, so now I’m the “Cat saving a watermelon from drowning in a lake” level of brain function.

I made Pineapple chess pie with layer of dark chocolate and marzipan on the bottom.
It was my first time making this Southern favorite for the family (I generally cook more savory dishes from my family recipe book).
Great flavors. Will not use Trader Joe’s pie crust again.

Saw #Elio with my child, it was the most accurate depiction of space junk-turned-debris fields that I’ve ever seen. Overall, a good film and very watchable. Especially for kids.

Smoke from Canadian fires will likely not impact the eastern & midwestern U.S. for the next couple weeks. Why?
Extreme humidity & stalled out system from unseasonably warm Atlantic & Gulf will limit winds from the north. A plus side to the extreme heat+humidity?!?! 🥵

Much of the smoke from the Manitoba fires has blown across the Hudson Bay and the North Atlantic towards Europe (mparrington.bsky.social has great shares on this).
Folks in Great Lakes region of U.S. & Canada could be impacted if winds change. Wildfire smoke is toxic - please mask, stay indoors.

Honored to receive the Wildfire Unit coin from the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance of USAID. Haven’t talked about it much, but was/am always happy & eager to assist the fine folks helping international communities prepare for & fight #wildfires. Wildfire science/management is a global community.
