Looking North toward Mt Shasta Clouds and snow

April is the new November. Looking toward Mt Shasta. New snow.

It might be time to reboot Queen for a Day. It was supposed to help folks with financial hardship. You could win a washing machine.

Then what would AI do? Are we going to be the Borg?

Mine is the NYT Spelling Bee.

Those 35% get an F in Pays Attention.

Here’s a clue. You’re on a farm animal.

And where is Tulsi Gabbard hiding.

Amazon Levi's and Walmart Agreed on Increased Retail pricing for Khaki Pants Amazon sent Levi’s links to Khaki pants that were priced lower on Walmart.com [$25.47 to $26.99], saying it “hop[ed] these can get resolved over the next few days.” The next day, Levi’s reported that “I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to … take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to…$29.99 immediately” and provided links to show the increased Walmart price. Amazon acknowledged that Walmart raised its price and confirmed it had matched that higher price: “the updated pricing of $29.99 is now showing up on [Amazon].”

Amazon, Hanes, and Target Worked to Raise the Price of Apparel: Amazon sent Hanes links to Target.com and Walmart.com showing lower prices than were on Amazon, and Hanes confirmed that it “reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased.”

Amazon, Agrothrive, and Home Depot Worked to Raise the Price of Plant Fertilizer: Amazon complained to vendor Agrothrive about lower prices for Agrothrive’s products at Home Depot, to which Agrothrive responded: “Yes, just got out of a meeting with the Home Depot manager and she has agreed to raise the prices this time.”

Amazon, GlobalOne, and Chewy Agreed on Increased Retail Prices for Pet Treats: The plan was written in an email between Amazon and its vendor, GlobalOne. For its part, Amazon would raise GlobalOne’s Canine Naturals pet treat prices to get Chewy to follow, then GlobalOne would “reach out to Chewy” to let them know that Amazon was increasing the pricing and “would ask that [Chewy] follow.” In other words, if Chewy agreed, Amazon would increase its retail pricing for the Canine Naturals pet treats and Chewy would match the price increase. The plan materialized. Amazon told GlobalOne that the pricematch override was in place, and to “let Chewy know to update [pricing] immediately.” That same day, GlobalOne confirmed the “ones that went up on Amazon immediately went up on Chewy [happy face emoji] … Overall this looks like it’s working!” The result of Amazon, Chewy and GlobalOne’s price fixing agreement was to increase the retail prices of over ten Canine Naturals pet treat products on Amazon and Chewy.

We’re sharing new evidence in our case against Amazon clearly showing the megacorporation is involved in price fixing.

It’s clear as day: Amazon is colluding with vendors and other retailers to make your life more unaffordable.

We’ll see them in court.

The US was never a member of the ICC. Although the treaty was signed it was never ratified.

Forest Firings: Trump Admin Aims to “Break the Forest Service,” Nearly 200 Million Acres at Stake The Trump administration in late March announced an extensive reorganization of the Forest Service, the federal agency responsible for managing 193 million acres of public lands across 43 states, the ...

“The intent here is obvious. It’s to hollow out this agency and hand it to the resource extraction industry and prepare it for, potentially, the eventual transfer of our public lands to states.”

Money on which happens first. The suit goes to court of Trump fires him.

Maybe try sending real diplomats?

If you get a chance go to Cantors Deli.

I took a class a few years ago in making biodiesel. Lots of interesting characters in the class. Their vehicles were inventive.

Watch out for the moist ones. Cow pie skiing can be uncomfortable

How these folks claim to be inspired by Tolkien and miss so many of his points! The Palantir isn’t what they think it is.

But Kosher isn’t woke?

Purr-fection 🤌

Might be like one of those Alien movies where you think they’re all dead but they just keep coming.

High-enthalpy Larderello geothermal system, Italy, powered by thousands of cubic kilometres of mid-crustal magma - Communications Earth & Environment The presence of a vast magma reservoir, with an estimated 6,000 cubic kilometers of magma, in the continental crust of central Tuscany in Italy is comparable to the crustal reservoirs found below super volcanos such as Yellowstone, according to ambient noise tomography analysis.

I miss the vernal pools.

They’ve left Siskiyou County for the most part. They hang out in the winter here.

When I was in Alaska excused mosquitos as pack animals.

Horse pulling logs

Bring back the horse drawn log wagon.

There is a seed bank at the Mt Shasta library.

Book cover of California thru Native Eyes by Bauer

This is one of the books the Feds have flagged for removal in National Parks. It’s a deep look at home California natives viewed the world over time I doubt the person who picked this as a banned book read it. It took me a month of slow reading because , golly, I had to think.

Okay. The Romans had huaraches.
