Towson Swimmers at Olympic Trials

This is so cool.  Four swimmers from my old school, then Towson State University (drop the state now) are competing this next week in Omaha to qualify for the Olympics.  Check out the news here.

And watch it here.  Go Tigers!

Climographs and Recreation Geography

We're doing climatology in physical geography this week. I thought I'd share this great resource from the National Geographic Society on climographs, the method of graphically displaying climate data.

I will always remember my climatology class at Towson State University where we were given the data (temperature and precipitation) and we had to tell where in the world the data represented.

Boy, it was a tough class.
