I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

I am mortified at the stupidity displayed by the president towards our neighbors. I like how friendly Canadians are. I like vacationing in AB, BC, NB, NS, ON, PE and QC. Give me poutine, spruce beer and TV and musicals (#TheExpanse, Schitt's Creek, Come from Away...). It fwaf, but I understand.

The Green Giant statue, mascot of the eponymous food conglomerate, in Blue Earth, MN, was a stopover on the trip moving my kiddo back from college. There's a little park nearby with toilets, picnic benches, and random musical instruments. GC628B and nearby GC1M068 ("Little Sprout") #geocaching

Southeastern Utah has some spectacular landscapes. This is Goosenecks State Park, overlooking the chasm cut by the San Juan River. It's a great example of an "entrenched meander." #geocaching GCHJ1X, GC4VF43, GC36JG5 and GC5H9T9

I was visiting New Orleans in 2010 for a conference and had some free time to walk around town. I saw there was a multi-cache, View Carre ' (GCE02C), that had some odd instructions: specific accessibility times, ask the person behind a desk, bring a camera (my phone) #geocaching

My last organized bike tour was an Adventure Cycling ride from Philadelphia to DC, via Gettysburg, where we had a guided tour (on bike). The second photo is on Little Round Top, where a statue of Maj. Gen. Gouverneur K. Warren, Chief Engineer of the Army of the Potomac stands. GC161PZ #geocaching

Unexpected indoor (virtual) geocache was the oddly titled, GCH58F, "Lessons in Modern Cartography #5" at the the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, in Sheboygan, WI. ("Kohler" is the company that manufactures many of the toilets, sinks, vanities, fixtures, ... in North America) #geocaching

GC17 #geocaching - had a lovely path leading to the cache with a nice view of Mt. Hood. It's the second oldest geocache in Oregon (about 3.5km from GC12, the oldest in Oregon), but its views are much, much nicer.
