Map Your Thanksgiving Thanks to IU-Bloomington
The good folks at Indiana University’s Geology Library have posted a series of maps that depict a number of Thanksgiving-related ag production variables, including cranberry, onion, pumpkin, and turkey production. Bring them to Thanksgiving dinner with you and it can go something like this:
Relative: So are you still doing GPS?
You: GIS
Relative: Oh that’s not the satellite…thing?
You: No, that’s Global Positioning. G.P. I do GIS, Geographic Information Systems.
Relative: [head tilts slightly to the side, eyes go glossy]
You: [unfurling IU's Thanksgiving poster with stony, blank face] Uh, I make maps.
