A glorious beach stop on the Gulf of Mexico to break our journey towards Campeche.
It was incredibly hot here (dry heat after the humidity of Palenque) and the sand was burning to the touch! Best antidote was a nice dip in the ocean, which luckily I was prepared for.

Fox squirrels on a damp day at the beginning of Winter Term 2023. Taken at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Friday January 6th, 2023. I missed a few of the really tough mange cases on Wednesday, but luckily I saw my patients on Friday. I saw Max Power (by the Michigan League) and there is progress. I saw two very bald squirrels on the Diag - so they are named Hatcher (with the scab) and Harlin. Mange has been very bad this year - practically every squirrel has a patch or so. If there was a red mark on the skin - that meant they were scratching. I think I will make Wednesday my main medicine distribution day - so I do not give any of the squirrels too much Ivermectin. Hopefully we will get these squirrels on their way to healthy living soon. Many squirrels will share a nest and that is how mange will spread. I also saw a red squirrel over by Lorch - used my big lens for that little one! Wishing you joy, health and peace wherever you are.
The Bechtler Museum of Modern Art celebrated its 5th anniversary on January 2 with a massive Jazz at the Bechtler concert. More than 1,000 people came out to hear the Ziad Jazz Quartet (along with guest musicians and vocalists) give a spectacular performance in the Knight Theater adjacent to the museum. It was a night to remember.

About the property
One of the architecturally most impressive baroque buildings in the city of Brno, the so-called. Governor's Palace, is the Moravian Gallery in Brno connected only since 1990, when the Brno City Hall (shortly after the dissolution of the Museum of the labor movement) gave this institution.
Currently the first floor houses a permanent exhibition of art from the Gothic to the 19th century, which includes the Cabinet of drawings and prints, and space for temporary exhibitions. The ground floor is reserved for holding large-scale temporary exhibitions. The Governor's Palace houses the Baroque hall with a capacity of 150 seats, which is for special events and temporary exhibitions. There is also a bookstore and gallery cafe ArtMap Morgała.
The history of the building as one of the dominant Moravian (formerly Joštova) square is closely associated with St. Thomas and dates back to the mid-14th century, when it was founded as an Augustinian monastery close to the ramparts of the Moravian Margrave John Henry. Its Current form, however, acquired this building complex both in the 60s of the 17th century (architect Jan Baptist Erna), and especially by the Baroque reconstruction carried out during 30 years in 1752 under the leadership of Brno architect Maurice Grimm, after the end of which the convent was promoted to abbey . Due to Josephine reforms in the early 80s, the Augustinians were forced to move to the Old monastery buildings, in the vacated representative area, renamed "DikasteriálnĂho palace", for a long time state, municipal and corporate offices were placed. The following alterations, particularly those afflicting mostly the interiors, were designed by the Viennese court architect Franz Anton Hillebrandt. The palace after 1918 served for provincial authorities and as the seat of the President, however, the German protectorate authorities replaced the young Czechoslovak state authorities. Another major milestone in modern history was the decision on the allocation of the Palace to BrnÄ›nska labor movement Museum, which possessed the building from 1955 to political changes after November 1989.

ShowPDX: A Decade of Portland Furniture Design
October 31, 2014 – Jan 31, 2015
ShowPDX Innovative + Functional Furniture Design is a biennial exhibit presented by fix studio. Show2014 displays over 60 examples of unusual and stimulating furniture design while providing designers/fabricators/makers with a place and resource for peer and public recognition, support and dialogue.
In 2001, small group exhibits by local designers and fabricators inspired the birth of a regular venue for furniture design in Portland. Created by designers Jennifer Jako and Christopher Bleiler of fix studio, Show2002 was the first of its kind in Portland. The exhibit was a curated show of furniture design, featuring local designers, fabricators, and makers. Through the spirit and support of the ShowPDX curatorial group, Show2014 continues to fuel collaboration, inspire students, create dialog amongst colleagues, promote business and inspire events by other independent designers and regional designers at locations across the country.
In October, Show2014 opens to the public. ShowPDX: A Decade of Portland Furniture Design at Museum of Contemporary Craft is the first retrospective of this landmark, juried invitational. The exhibition will bring together ten-years of ShowPDX, showcasing the evolution of furniture design in Portland.

Taken on the first day back after the holidays - Wednesday January 2, 2013. Lots of squirrels on campus - so they survived with the students, faculty and staff off for a week. Very cold and brisk out there today. One little guy over by the Clements Library insisted that I feed him directly - so he let me put peanuts right in his mouth. Kinda fun!
Nature and man made sources of energy that we all depend on.nice representation of the two and a very nice sunset too.

The hallway is beautiful, in a small alcove to the left as soon as you enter from the north entrance. Like all Washington DC buildings, there was plenty of security. Metal detectors, "may I have a look in your bag, sir", and all that good stuff.
Thanks a lot, terrorists.
Part of the hull preserved, it took years to preserve and it is now on proud display. I wish my picture turned out better!

The Spouting Horn was formerly dwarfed by an adjacent blowhole called the Kukui'ula Seaplume That seaplume would shoot much higher--as high as 200 feet into the air. But on an early Sunday morning back in the 1920 a sugar company manager ordered one of his workers to drop blasting powder into the hole to widen it so the plume wouldn't shoot into the air. The reason? The salt spray from the geyser was stunting the growth of 10 acres of cane (among the company's many thousand of acres), and the manager would not stand for that. From down on the lava shelf you can see its remains in the form of a larger rectangular aperture to the left of the current blowhole opening."
(McAllen, Texas, December 18, 2025) Mexico Agrees to Meet Water Treaty Obligations for Farmers in the American Southwest. On December 12, 2025, the United States and Mexico reached an understanding to meet the current water obligations of American farmers and ranchers and for Mexico to repay the water deficit in Texas as part of the 1944 Water Treaty. This agreement extends to the current cycle and the previous cycle’s water deficit. For more information, see www.usda.gov/about-usda/news/press-releases/2025/12/12/me...
The Rio Grande is the lifeline of South Texas agriculture, and its flow is shaped by an international agreement—the 1944 Mexico Water Treaty. This treaty ensures that water from six Mexican tributaries is shared between Mexico and the United States. The U.S. receives one-third of the natural flows, while Mexico retains two-thirds. Mexico must order the release of their share in specified amounts. In this case Mexico has agreed to release 202,000-acre feet of water to the United States with deliveries expected to begin the week of December 15, 2025. The US/Mexico water is stored in two major international reservoirs: Amistad Dam near Del Rio and Falcon Dam near Zapata. Amistad holds most of the water because its depth reduces evaporation. When irrigation districts downstream need water, the Rio Grande Watermaster orders releases from Falcon Dam. For Edcouch, Texas, water takes about a few days to travel from Falcon. As the water flows down the Rio Grande, some is diverted by the Hidalgo County Irrigation District No. 2 pumping station, which serves McAllen and surrounding areas. The pump station uses up to ten 400 horsepower pumps to take up water in submerged 42-inch uptake pipes, lifts it 32 feet, when the flow is measured as it is discharged at a capacity of up to 680 cubic feet per second into a main canal. This process ensures that every drop is accounted for—meeting agricultural needs while minimizing freshwater loss to the Gulf of Mexico.
Today, two pumps provide the flow needed by the system. Water will flow in the primary delivery canal for a short distance into a nearby settling pond to help clarify the water before continuing into a main conveyance channel that leads north, through McAllen, Texas. Smaller channels or pipelines will branch off to municipal and irrigation water districts such as the Delta Lake Irrigation District and it’s Delta Lake Reservoir, with the capacity of 10,669 acre-feet of water and a surface area of 2,371 acres. Delta Lake Irrigation District currently serves 69,500 acres and diverts municipal water to the City of Raymondville, La Sara, Monte Alto and the City of Lyford. Their irrigation canals flow to the farms where growers such as the Edinburg Citrus Association then use their pump houses to draw the water and distribute it to their fields using pressurized pipelines for drip irrigation systems that deliver life-giving water to the grapefruit orchards. Their micro-irrigation tubes/tapes deliver a slow flow to the base of each tree to increase absorption into the soil, reduce evaporation, runoff and unwanted growth between the rows and other benefits.
The organization that diverts water from the Rio Grande for irrigation and municipal use in Texas is managed under the Rio Grande Watermaster Program, which operates under the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The Rio Grande Watermaster Program is a system managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) that oversees and regulates the use of water from the Rio Grande in Texas. Its main job is to make sure water is distributed fairly and according to legal water rights. The Watermaster calculates how much water is needed by farmers, cities, and industries, then orders releases from reservoirs like Falcon Dam and Amistad Dam. It also tracks water as it flows down the river to ensure that every drop goes to the correct user and that as little as possible is wasted or flows into the Gulf.
In 1932, a group of South Texas citrus growers came together to form the Edinburg Citrus Association (ECA), a non-profit co-op. The goal of the group is to maintain the highest quality pack and provide customers a highly marketable product at a competitive price.
