A large EPA online GIS/data portal that I used for research disappeared last night. I knew it was coming, but it’s still shocking, infuriating & terrifying to actually see. Saw it last night but was too rattled to function then. People need to be MUCH more scared & angry about what is happening…

My wonderful dad, Edward Kanfoush, passed away today at 83 in Hospice at their home in Florida after battling cancer. He was surrounded by his loving wife of 59 years, Diane, and me & my brother. Hard stuff, for sure, but we are blessed with SO many wonderful memories. 💛 #family
