Contacted by a french journalist looking for the original of a photo I took may back in 2005 of #glacierMice. #joklamys
The glacier itself (Breiðamerkurjökull) has retreated so much, I wonder if the poor mice are still there? I fear there home may have vanished. Maybe it's worth an expedition to go and look...?
Perhaps we should even consider transplanting them to save the species?

We had this problem with our shop. We scheduled a meeting with the Business Managers for our unions (joint IBEW/IATSE contract), and the only people who showed up were the Business Managers and the shop stewards, plus one other member.
It's YOUR union. Be active.
I wound up being a shop steward because I always checked in with the Business Manager when he came by, and because I attended meetings like the one above (our contracts lasted three years, so it's not like we were always asking folks to attend meetings on weekends - usually one or two prior to the start of negotiations, and as needed to keep the membership informed during the negotiation process).

well, that's too bad.
Recently i recalled playing the old Delta force games with friends in the late 90's (i think it was) and wondered whatever happened to that series, as the last one i recalled was black hawk down

Any idea what this algae or plant is? It forms green films on top if a nearby pond. Under the scope it forms largish clumps or sacks of cells- maybe 50-100 um or so across. Seems too large for most algae and too small for plants like duckweed. I've never come across it before, and I'd be curious to get an ID if anyone knew!
