Caveat: Tree #1420 “And in the distance, there are mountains”

A Daily Tree / Banalities & Journaling / My Photos

This tree is along the snowy road. I took it a few days ago. More recently, the snowy road is an icy road.

Art and I went to town today, to do our “Thursday shopping” one day late. We didn’t go yesterday because I thought the roads would be too icy to drive easily. I thought the same thing today, but we went anyway, because I saw forecasts of a snowstorm coming, and I thought: “Well, the roads aren’t going to get better, they’re going to get worse.”

Indeed, the road was very icy. I drove very slowly, only slid around a little bit a few times, and the scariest part – the 6-mile hill – was much better than the other parts. I think some good Samaritan must have spread some salt or sand or something on the steep parts of the hill. We survived. And shopped.

Caveat: Long time, no update (on that other blog)

Banalities & Journaling / Geofiction

[The below is cross-posted from my other blog]

I have neglected this blog [i.e. that other blog] for the last 6 months. That’s bad.

I occasionally think of things I’d like to blog here, but I get lazy or distracted with other, non-geofiction stuff, and never get around to it.

For now, I’m going to try something different. I’ll try to do a “low effort” post once a week. We’ll see how long that lasts.

One of these low effort posts will involve pointing to something I (or someone else) has mapped on one of the map servers (Ogieff, Arhet).

This week: yesterday, I uploaded some work-in-progress on the city of Saint-Raphaël, Ooayatais. It’s far from complete, but I decided that instead of hoarding the work on my desktop computer, I’d go ahead and post it in its incomplete state. Even so, yesterday’s upload was about 70k objects.

Note that in the screenshot, coastlines are not yet updated. There’s something going on with delayed coastline updates, which, as admin for the site, I should probably look into.
