Please give your lot a cheer from me for the second half. Yep... a Forest fan willing the red half of Liverpool to a win. Gotta begin the humiliation of the Manc cheats.

Day 283 of #365DaysOfMaps. October 10th is World Day Against the Death Penalty. As Ian notes, finally, a day with the unequivocal word 'against' in the title.

Probably pay-per-bullet 🀦

Day 281 of #365DaysOfMaps. October 8th is World Octopus Day. In celebration of the intelligence of octopuses, or their use as characters on satirical maps.

What happened to round plates? 🀦

I read up about this when I first saw the data. There was some state policy in the 60s and 70s which encouraged landowners to turn over land for leisure and recreation. So they did. Golf courses were and easy way to change land use and get the cash.

Just go back to the last map πŸ‘

Day 280 of #365DaysOfMaps. October 8th is National Bathtub Day. With the strong preference for showers it seems a worthy cause (relatively speaking). Except Japan. Hail the Onsen!

'Map Wizardry' book update and our vastly talented wizardry colleague Wes Jones has created some fantastic cartoon versions of Nathan, John and I. It gives me 2.6525286e+32 possible variations per person. I'm quite taken with the all layers at once look though 🀣

FINALLY... I have found a use for 3D. Puppy Terror Zone Modelling. Create a 3D buffer zone of everywhere a puppy can reach, eat or destroy. Capable of expanding at a rapid rate. Could use for kids too. For safety, sanity, and preservation of non-puppy items.

Day 279 of #365DaysOfMaps. October 6th is National Transfer Money to your Daughter Day. Bizarre. But you knew that already right?

A little backyard archaeology today trying to figure out what previous owners, and/or the cowboys they paid, did when installing shoddy irrigation systems. Five wires into the controller. Four siphons. Seven pipes. Not at required depth. Leaks. Grrrr.

Day 277 of #365DaysOfMaps. October 4th is Change a Light Day. Shining a light (groan!) on reducing energy use by switching lights off when not needed and changing to low energy bulbs. Time for an infographic with a projection pun.

Email incoming.

I only have them from the Esri reprint but happy to share if they'll work for you. I can't guarantee they're exactly as printed in original editions though.

Finally managed to acquire this super rare Swisstopo Swatch. In 2012 Swatch gifted this model to employees of the Swiss Federal Office of Topography to celebrate the organisation, its founder General Guillaume Henri Dufour, and the "Dufour" map. It was never released to retail.
