k, this was in Taumilipas- not nearly as violent as Juarez. I wouldn't step foot in Juarez if you paid me. Between 10-12 murders there a day.

Truly. I was never afraid to travel in Mexico before, but I am starting to think twice about it now. So much violence and unrest happening in the country right now. Not just on the border and Chiapas anymore.

"The most vulnerable cities include many of the nation’s most rapidly growing regions, such as Houston, Phoenix, and Las Vegas. The fact that the country’s population is shifting toward the most vulnerable areas underscores the importance of limiting climate change as much as possible: the U.S. is exposed to major impacts and that exposure is growing rapidly. Additionally, these cities must continue to improve the sustainability of their water supplies and/or resilience to natural disasters (even though the Second City is ranked fourth here as among the most resilient, check out what Chicago is doing for climate adaptation.) Many of the low-vulnerability cities are former industrial giants in need of new economic drivers and jobs. Arresting climate change will require developing and manufacturing innovative energy technologies. Policies that promote investment in these new industries would create tens of thousands of “green jobs” that could boost the economies of cities currently losing population. For example, studies by McKinsey and the Political Economy Research Institute forecast that aggressive transition to a “green economy” could produce 500,000 to 2 million Ohio jobs. For cities like Cleveland, despite their relatively low vulnerability, helping to prevent climate change could be the most promising way forward."

"My analysis did not attempt to predict future conditions. Remember, I was doing this is on my laptop while watching The Daily Show. Instead, I assumed that cities with low risk of heat stress, natural disaster and water supply disruption today would, all things being equal, be relatively less impacted by climate change than other cities under various climate-change scenarios.
Crunching the numbers, lo and behold, Cleveland was number one: the major city least vulnerable to climate-change impacts (in this ranking, #1 means least vulnerable or most resilient and <a href="#50</a>" target="_blank">http://friendfeed.com/sea... ; is most vulnerable; see the complete rankings at the bottom of this post along with a fuller explanation of my methods, particularly how I handled challenges with the natural disaster ranking)."

While on vacation, I was really shocked to see the haze from some of the other fires late last week, which almost completely concealed Pikes Peak from only a mere 5 miles away, in Colorado Springs....here is a link that gives info on the many different wildfires covering New Mexico and Arizona...shocking and soooo sad. No telling how long it will take the forests to repair themselves... <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.santafenewmexi... ; title="http://www.santafenewmexi... ; ... <a rel="nofollow" href="https://nmfireinfo.wordpr... ; title="https://nmfireinfo.wordpr... ;

"Winds of about 30mph (50kph), with gusts above 60mph (100kph), blew heavy smoke from the fire in the picturesque town of Greer, where most of the 200 full-time residents had already fled. The winds and expected lightning storms may make matters worse in an area dotted with cabins and campgrounds that have long provided a cool summer getaway from the oppressive heat of the nearby desert. The fire was projected to have grown to nearly 365 square miles (950 sq. kilometres), officials said on Monday, based on overnight mapping flights. Officials believe an abandoned campfire may have sparked the blaze more than a week ago."

Co-worker Dan, for letting me borrow his Zune to listen to the new Death Cab. Even though I totally make fun of him all the time for owning a Zune. :D

Just received word that the BBC is going to be filming a segment of a nature show on "Animal Intelligence" on our district. They're going to be filming the wild horse herd in the Cold Creek area. Did I mention this herd is almost completely domesticated? Eats out of your hand and follows you around?
I started to wonder about their credibility when I saw a show on how a nature documentary's producers substantially edited unrelated footage to make it look like it told a particular story – and that was just for a 30-second or so clip.

Katy, that is what I am hoping. Chris, I once had aspirations of being a female version of Jeff Corwin, but I'm firmly grounded in reality at present. ;)

We saw this at today's fire warden training. The version we saw was longer and much more graphic. :((( Close to 100 people died in that nightclub trying to escape.

I would concur that he's swoon-worthy, but I also have a bias toward the rugged, outdoorsy types, anyway. ;)

You know what feels awesome? Finishing that last biological evaluation and knowing you can focus on field work for awhile. *happy sigh of relief*
