x over it: Experience Proper Awesome
http://xoverit.blogspot.com/2015/07/experience-proper-awesome.html
This post is long overdue. But I couldn't forget to teach you how to Experience Proper Awesome. In Canada, things aren't just awesome. They're proper awesome, according to Parks Canada. I'm inclined to agree because British Columbia is my favorite place on the continent. Here is a map of our May 2015 trip. The new territory began near Bellingham, WA. Here is a view of Mount Garibaldi (BC) from Everson, WA. Some sky, hills, a train, and a field. Further along on a 1-lane bridge over the Thompson River.

Google gets one more point on the love side of my love/hate opinion. It's not my job to explain how or why. This SciShow video. Does a much better job at that. You should also look at this video. I have ...

Earlier this month, I posted on the map I created from the sketch I made while spending the afternoon outside. While those outside activities have had to be curtailed due to a stretch of uncomfortably hot weather (to anybody from the south this is going to sound silly, but it's been in the mid-80s [ 30°C] for the past 2 weeks) I've continued creating maps of places both fictional and real. This gif shows the process of creating a black and white map of a fictional place. 2 Added minor roads and sketched ...
