This week, I visited GekkoTech in Berwick. I needed to replace my iPad. The challenge was gaining familiarity with the new interface. Fortunately, Jason was able to ‘hold my hand’ through the transition.
This morning, I stopped at COGS to obtain information on the 2025 MTRI Biodiversity Conservation Showcase ( November 22nd at COGS).
Congratulations to MTRI and COGS. I hope that we will continue to see integration between Landscape Management science and Geomatics (GIS and RS) technology.
After COGS, we stopped at Bees Knees. I wanted to thank them for securing my debit card. I had misplaced it, in my excitement to go to Kejimkujik National Park (see previous blog).
On the writing front, I was pleased to find the latest book of short stories by Bob Bent. I savoured the first story ‘Wildwood Flower’. It reminded me so much of Heather. As indeed, did last night’s The Nature of Things on CBC, the first person narrative by Natalia Rybzynski
From the Middleton library, through inter-library loan: Dervla Murphy. Full Tilt. Ireland to India with a Bicycle.
At Bees Knees, this morning, I was able to pick up the current Bridgetown Reader. Meanwhile, in the Register, Anne Crossman emphasized the importance of libraries in the Valley ( see this week’s column).
