Aerial photos reveal an ancient fish trap from the time of the Norman Conquest.
Dave Montgomery discusses weirs in his book King of Fish. (I am particularly partial to the book's illustrations, and to this page.)
If a little trickle comes through your kitchen ceiling on a rainy, snowy, blustery Sunday in March,
you might find yourself
in a raincoat on the roof,
holding a can of "Henry's 208," which, as it turns out, has a picture of you on the label.
PS: You may, when you return to the dry warmth of your sofa, enjoy reading the short story "Wayne's Fate" in the book Typical by Padgett Powell. Also, the story "christmas" in In Persuasion Nation by George Saunders.
Hi again, ESRI users. If your ArcMap zoom or selection extent rectangles vanish (the lines that create a rectangle around the area you are zooming to or from, or that define the areas you are selecting), or if you can no longer see lines or polygon features as you're drawing them in edit mode, check your Advanced ArcMap Settings Utility (C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Utilities\AdvancedArcMapSettings.exe), Symbols/Graphics tab, "Selection feedback rectangle outline symbol." If the line width is set to less than 1, that line won't be displayed in ArcMap at all. Which begs the question, "why should one be able to set said line width to a value lower than 1?" And, "why do I bother asking questions like this any more?"
(Credit goes to my estimable colleague Erin for unintentionally inflicting the problem upon herself and then unearthing the solution.)
Look out, Harvey: in an effort to make this page more google-able, I am hereby linking to the UW's Harvey Greenberg's Programmer's Quick Guide to the Languages (also known as "shootfoot.html"). I admit I don't actually get a lot of the jokes, but I know people who do and I like to entertain them.
