Could the sulphur be the warning of something? In Iceland you never know.

Burn some matches and watch this video and you get "Odorama" (think John Waters).

Recreational Cannabis Sales in Massachusetts
A monumental day in the Bay State, with the first legal sales of marijuana east of the Mississippi!
Two retail shops opened yesterday and as one might expect, tourism to Massachusetts from a multi-state market showed there is the demand for legal and safe pot.
In Northampton, NETA opened its medicinal marijuana operation to the casual user. Details of THC and CBD content are available on the website, that gives the patient or user a chance to get the right mix for health or relaxation.
Neighboring Maine and Vermont have also decided to provide legal marijuana but no shops have opened.
In the mean time "Taxachusetts" is set to become the destination for cannabis. And it should be taxed!

Appalachian Trail Corridor Monitoring
Time to hit the woods to do boundary monitoring for the National Park Service lands protecting the Appalachian Trail. I am taking a bunch of students from my Recreation Geography class and joining them will be a few from my Site Planning Studio.
Should be a great day and I hope the weather holds out.
We have two tasks that day. First will be a quick visit to a cultural resource in Sheffield. Basically we just need to continue with the photo inventory to make sure the site is not being disturbed.
Next we will head up to Tyringham to do some corridor monitoring. I have two tracks and haven't decided which one to visit, but in any case our job will be to find these monuments that mark the NPS lands.
So what is monitoring? Well I created a few YouTube Clips. The best overall description is this one.
Video 2.
Video 3.
One made in jest is found last.
I will probably make a new one this weekend.

Video Editing Practice
I had a chance to see Stonehenge this summer and while the rain didn't stop, it was still a remarkable experience. Here is a quick little (slightly over a minute) clip. I will work on a better one when a get a chance.
Oh yeah, for more official information, try here.
