Western North America

So, but like I was saying, not every tick has it.

And part of the reason I think why Lyme disease is not very prevalent in Western North America is because we don't have many black legged ticks.

OK, I think we do have quite a bit, but I think like it's part of that Lyme disease was discovered in Lyme, Connecticut, and it's since been spreading, you know, basically from that area outwards, which is in eastern US.

Right.

Um, it has very narrow leaves and small yellow heads in dense clusters at the end of the stems.

Uh, it is common and variable species in a genus found mainly in Western North America.

Some plants are light green.

Others have silvery hairs.

Uh, you know, maybe another one is, is knowledge of the Arctic.

You know, we have, we've had a lot of these events in, in kind of alpine settings at lower latitudes in, you know, Western North America, Himalaya, but almost nothing is known about these in the Arctic.

Uh, the Canadian Arctic, we, we know essentially nothing about large rock slope deformation, large scale rock slope deformation, and I think that's gonna become more and more important as, uh, you know, as Arctic sovereignty and defense becomes more important, but also as, uh, shipping through the Northwest Passage, as cruise ship tourism becomes, you know, more, uh, more, um, more common, as mining interests increase in Nunavut and Greenland, et cetera.

Understanding the, the hazards and risks north of, let's say, 60 is going to be, uh, is, is a new frontier, I think.

Those transmissions beam to Eastern North America and to Central America.

Now, to Western North America, 16:00 GMT Sunday on 15205 kilohertz, 04:00 GMT Monday on 9565 kilohertz, and 05:00 GMT Monday on 9565 kilohertz.

Those transmissions a half hour each.

It's called Norway This Week, and thanks to Jason Metzger for passing that schedule along to us.

People were literally losing the farm.

And it was a time of, you know, you had the kind of, Populist, agrarian populist energy of the progressive movement all through Western North America.

And then, you know, people were looking for easy answers.

They were ticked off with the banks that were foreclosing on farms.

It grows, uh, it's a species, and they grow, um, high in the mountains.

Again, high in the mountains, but this time in Western North America.

It's on the boundary between California and Nevada.

And they can ...

How does a tree live so long, and why would a tree that has endured for thousands of years ever die?

They can live so long c- uh, certain species, tree, kinds of trees can live very long 'cause in a way it's their, the adversary circumstances in which they grow allow them to live so long.

So both, for instance, the Bosnian pines in Greece, the bristlecone pines in the White Mountains in Western North America, they live in very austere landscapes.

They live very high up in the mountains where it's very dry, where it's, it gets really cold in winter, and it's rather inhospitable, especially also for other species and for other organisms like grasses, uh, like insects.

This is from the West.

This is the Western North America gift to the world.

It's going to come out.

It has been sitting on a shelf for a very long time.

Some people say it was the Pacific Coast Hockey Association.

which was a league active in Western North America in the early 1900s that originated the use of jersey numbers.

Some say it was the National Hockey Association, which was the NHL's predecessor, that stipulated using numbered armbands in the 1911-1912 season.

It's interesting that that is the first season that you are mentioning, because I was just listening to a podcast about the Titanic, and there was a Canadian hockey player who died on the Titanic.
