Yes, it's true, I am retiring from the University of Western Ontario (or as it styles itself these sols, Western U.) and moving to the west coast (Victoria, BC to be precise). I was at Western for 29 years. But now it's time to hang up the Mortar Board and settle down in Victoria. However, you can take the prof out of the cartography course but you can't take the cartography out of the prof, so I will continue mapping rover activities, experimenting with mapping asteroids and comets, writing books etc. until I can't do it any more.
Drop in if you are ever in Victoria! (he said, carefully neglecting to provide any contact information) Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Hi everyone - from Malta, Montana on our road trip across the continent. Thanks for all your kind words, both public and private. I'll be back on the job in a few days. Those Juno pics are great. And I'm really looking forward to cresting Vera Rubin Ridge. Not in my little Yaris, you understand. Though I would give it a try.
