I've recently been helping some folks in a habitat modeling exercise. The people I've been working with are concerned about the effect wildfire has on certain habitats and therefore need continuous (not thematic) maps of severity. To do this, I create the dNBR and deliver that to the people in need. Well, most of the dNBRs have already been created through my BAER work during the fire season. However, Chris Forristal, U of Montana, needed some data for a fire we hadn't done yet. I secured some imagery, created the dNBR, delivered it to Chris, reprojected to something he could use, and etc. He was very grateful and even made a comment in an email "Where do I send the fruit basket?" I responded, "Fruit? I want cookies!" I was totally kidding, and Chris knew it as well.

I walked into work this morning and on my desk was a basket of cookies and a not from Chris saying "Thank you for your help!" I was surprised and please at the gesture. I also got a good laugh out of it all. Thanks, Chris, for the entertainment and treats this morning.
