"What if we couldn't sweat and had to live knee-deep in water while panting like dogs to survive?" Another awesome thought experiment from @whattheif.bsky.social - the fun science podcast from @philipashane.bsky.social, Prof. Matt Stanley, and Dr. Gaby Paniccia! 🙂

What The IF? @whattheif.bsky.social · Aug 1

No more sweating means everyone walks around panting like dogs with their tongues out during important meetings. Listen now at whattheif.com

Wednesday was Regatta Day back home in St. John's, Newfoundland; the Royal St. John's Regatta is North America's oldest annual sporting event, since 1818. 🚣‍♀️
T-shirt illustration I did long ago for Auntie Crae's Food Shop: Auntie Crae's sponsored a boat that year.

On July 26 the summer I was 16, Dad and I watched as #balloonists attempted the first #transatlantic crossing. (Unfortunately, they didn’t quite make it.)
A precious memory of Dad. ❤️

Some sights from the Bastille Day street fair on 60th Street and Madison yesterday: they were teaching kids re. playing boules, fencing, ballet … plus, someone had brought a dog wearing a beret!

Today is Imelda Marcos's birthday. So it seemed a good day to post this old caricature I drew of her and re-found among my papers.
(I can't remember when I did it, or for what purpose ... )

Whales singing "O Canada" off the coast of Newfoundland 🙂
(Every time I watch this - when the orchestra kicks in and these magnificent creatures appear, I get a little misty!)

On Canada Day it's fun to revisit this (catchy) "Ca-na-da" song and Expo 67, when the world came to Montreal to celebrate Canada's 100th birthday! 🇨🇦

June 24, 1983 - As part of royal visit to Canada, Charles and Diana were visiting my hometown (St. John's, #Newfoundland). They had lunch at City Hall. Afterwards #PrincessDiana did a walkabout (I got a handshake!) and I heard her say, "Oh, my, so many hands!"
