More snow in Corvallis today. Maybe up to one foot (30 cm) more before it ends. Recalls my days shoveling snow in Truckee, CA, although I was 25 years younger.
At least my tap water doesn't look like this sample from Sochi! Neither does my toilet!
Note about job postings: Regarding listing of previous job postings: I am no longer going to publish an exhaustive list of previous weeks' position openings. Reason: I archive all my job postings on Twitter anyway and they can be accessed there by going to #JobWaWi and clicking on 'All' at the top right, just below 'Results for #JobWaWi'. This will show all job announcements that have been posted via Twitter (which I started doing in August 2013), which is the only way I post position openings. The jobs are shown in chronological order, with the newest first. This archive may contain job postings by others. You do not need a Twitter account to do this!
Note - if you are new to this summary: This is a weekly summary of my
water-related Tweets (Twitter feeds) categorized by topics. Most entries contain a hot link. To access a story, click on the link beginning with 'http://', 'is.gd', or 'bit.ly' (usually).Clicking on a link beginning with '@' will take you to that person's Twitter account; clicking on a link beginning with '#' will take you to a Twitter list containing Tweets about a particular topic. Some items may not have a hot link to a story, which is fine - it may have been just an informational item or a personal message to someone. Or, I may have screwed up and forgotten the link!
Enjoy!
