March 19 Update

Schedules don’t mean anything right now. As optimistic as I’d like to be about our COVID-19 situation here in Alberta, looking at the data from China’s experience tells me our activities will still be restricted until at least mid-May. If we are lucky, and everybody commits to social distancing, in June we will start seeing …

February Update

The End of the Arctic Outflow (must be near!) Groundhog Day last weekend was supposed to bring hopeful news, but it didn’t. All the groundhogs I checked couldn’t agree one way or the other.
