B1LxPXiy_400x400Holidays got you down? Do you want some laughs? Follow @ass_deans (that's 'associate deans') on Twitter. You don't need to be an academic.

Here is the Twitter description:

Making fun of middle management in colleges and universities. Because you can never have too many associate deans conspiring to be THE dean.

And that photo - if that's not an ass_dean I don't know who is! 3SwABEqS_400x400

Or maybe you would rather look at Keith Richards, who turned 75 on 19 December.

Enjoy!

TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary 8 -14 December 2018

I posted this on 14 December with just a few minutes to spare. I am waiting in the Eugene airport for Mary Frances' flight from SFO, delayed for almost three hours. So I did my TGIF post.

I took this picture about 35,000 feet above the Great Basin of Nevada. One thing about living for 12+ years in Oregon's moist, verdant Willamette Valley: I've realized how much of a high desert rat I am.

TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary 1 - 7 December 2018

New book from Eric P. Perramond: 'Unsettled Waters: Rights, Law, and Identity in the American West' .

From the book's website:

EricIn the American West, water adjudication lawsuits are adversarial, expensive, and lengthy. Unsettled Waters is the first detailed study of water adjudications in New Mexico. The state envisioned adjudication as a straightforward accounting of water rights as private property. However, adjudication resurfaced tensions and created conflicts among water sovereigns at multiple scales. Based on more than ten years of fieldwork, this book tells a fascinating story of resistance involving communal water cultures, Native rights and cleaved identities, clashing experts, and unintended outcomes. Whether the state can alter adjudications to meet the water demands in the twenty-first century will have serious consequences.

Looks good - I've got my copy.

Check out the 'Books' category - more goodies abound!

Enjoy!
