POTD: Frikirkjan and Hallgrimskirkja
From 2019 03 01 Iceland |
Today's photo-of-the-day is from Reykjavik, Iceland. It's a human-sized (pop. 125,000), walkable city, pleasant even in winter, on mild days, anyway. The week in late winter that we visited the temperatures were actually warmer than they were back in Dallas. We joked we had traveled to Iceland to escape the Dallas winter. With the warm Gulf Stream and global warming, Iceland just might grow more popular as a winter destination.
Bonus photos after the jump.

Review: Where the Crawdads Sing
Amazon |
The story of the marsh is the third major story line in this novel, the one that makes the novel soar above the love story and the murder mystery.

RISD Election: How Did It Go?
On November 5, 2019, the Richardson ISD conducted its first-ever election with single-member districts. The new voting system was specifically designed in reaction to a voting rights lawsuit that complained that RISD's at-large voting system discriminated against the minority community. In this first election, three of the five single-member districts were up for election. In each of the next two years, another single-member district, plus an at-large district, will be up for election. At the end of three years, all of the new districts will have been elected under the new system. Now that the first election is behind us, let's ask how it worked.

POTD: Heads-Up! Puffin.
From 2019 03 01 Iceland |
Today's photo-of-the-day is from Kevflavik Airport in Reykjavik, Iceland. That's a puffin poking down from the ceiling in the baggage claim area in way of greeting arriving passengers. Iceland's puffin population is estimated at 10 million birds. The human population in the whole country is only about 340,000, so it's natural that puffins get a lot of attention. Admission: we didn't see any puffins. The best time to see puffins in Iceland is the summer. We were there in winter to see the Northern Lights. More on that to come.
