Volunteers with the Byrne Creek Streamkeepers Society completed a weekend fish survey in southeast Burnaby, BC, today with the third-best result recorded in 13 years of collecting data. We caught, identified, measured and released 70 juvenile cutthroat trout and three coho.
The fish survey involves rambling through the bush. Those hi-viz vests really stand out in the forest.
Someone had placed this chair at this idyllic spot. Nice view, too bad whoever was sitting here appeared to have been tossing beer cans in the creek… Sigh
Skunk cabbage popping up in several place. This is a cool plant!
I absolutely HATE it when you go to a web page and suddenly there’s music blaring from your speakers for some advert.
I hate anything that moves or makes noise when I land on a web page, including those creepy “how can I help you” chat popups on some sites.
Oh, yes, I hate animated email messages, too.
If I control my user experience, I am much more likely to read your email or stay on your web page. I’ll even click on a few advert links if they’re something I’m interested in. I might even click on a “click to chat” link if I do have a question.
Too many things on the go! About half an hour ago a guy from the gas company knocked on the door to say that they had replaced the gas meter (we’d gotten notice a few weeks ago this would happen). He said he’d like to come in and relight the furnace, the water heater, and any other gas appliances.
We keep the house at 18C in the daytime in our mild winters here, so I hadn’t even noticed that the furnace was off.
As part of the relighting he asked me to jack the thermostat way up so that the furnace would kick in.
He left, I got back to work… And mindlessly took my sweatshirt off and continued working in just a T-shirt. And awhile later I was getting more irritated by how bloody hot it was…
And it still took another ten minutes for it to sink in that I’d left the thermostat at 26C!
