Testing a Workflow

2019-04-23 John Winkelman

And it looks like the workflow worked. This is the Grand River, taken from the Sixth Street Bridge in Grand Rapids, facing north.

The Salmon Are Running

Looks kind of like an invasion fleet.

A Tragedy Which Affects Us All

2009-08-13 John Winkelman

Due to budget cutbacks, the City of Grand Rapids has had to remove the lighthouse beacons from the Grand River at the base of the Sixth Street Bridge Dam. This has had disastrous consequences.

TURTLES have been RUNNING AGROUND on the ROCKS!!!! Without beacons marking the deeper channels, turtles can’t avoid the rocks as they build up speed to leap the dam on their annual migrations northward.

Please: Think of the Turtles.

Ducks are Slow Learners

It Ain’t Easy Bein’ a Duck ’round Here

Duck at the Dam

This afternoon, while taking a break from writing code, I watched a young duck mis-judge the current and get swept over the Sixth Street Bridge dam. Fortunately, ducks are quite buoyant and this one made it to safety after a minute of being tumbled about in the turbulence at the base of the dam.

Grand River, This Morning

Boat lauch sign

Yes, that is steam rising off the river. The air was about 33 degrees colder than the water. Thus, condensation and frost.

Hi everyone - taking some time off to mourn the loss of half the country’s rights and status as free citizens in America.

Please do what you can to support groups helping those that will now need to travel for reproductive care, like the @BrigidAlliance
