Yesterday, I ordered a new pair of hemp shoes from 8000kicks.
UPS says they had in in Leiria, Portugal 2 hours ago - and plan to deliver it to me BY END OF DAY. That's about 2000km in less than 12 hours.
I'm not sure if that means I have to clear the field outside our house for landing of a freight plane or a helicopter - or if I just should expect a giant crater.

Tracking details of a parcel with UPS, showing it was scanned in Portal at 12:15, Estimated delivery: Friday, June 19 by End of Day in Winterthur, Switzerland

A few highlights from the Turkish-Persian section of a random carpet symbolism book I skimmed while stopped at a random library in New Jersey a couple days ago

Tree of life: one of the oldest and most universal symbols of mankind. It supports the sky, and provides a path from earth to heaven. In different cultures it is called by names such as haoma, asherak, yggdrasil, irminsu or asvattha. Thus, one often sees it in prayer rugs, as a reminder of the passage from this existence into a higher life.
Diamond or Lozenge: It has been conjectured that this omnipresent motif in Anatolian kilims is a male triangle attached to a female triangle, and thus signifies creation. There are doubtless many interpretations. A diamond surrounded by hooks is called in Turkish kirkbudatz, 'forty branches'. Among some semi-nomadic pastoral (terekme) tribes of Azerbaijan, a favourite symbol is a large diamond, signifying woman. Smaller diamonds within the large one signify a pregnant woman or her progeny. A …
Celestial creature: Recognizable because flames appear from flanks or shoulders.
Arabesque or Tendril: The basic unit of the arabesque, a favourite Islamic decorative theme, may be described as a split leaf seen in profile, called islimi in Persian. Derived from a Sassanian motif, it developed under the Abbasids in the ninth and tenth centuries, and matured under the Seljuks in the twelfth and thirteenth. It became central in Turkish and Persian carpet design only after the fifteenth century. In its fascinating fully developed form one sees interlaced lattice systems of sp…

The Trump administration fired a federal prosecutor on Wednesday,
⭐️less than an hour after he was appointed to lead the United States attorney’s office in Seattle
-- a move that sets the stage for a likely legal battle.
Federal judges in the Western District of Washington had unanimously appointed Roger Rogoff to be the Justice Department’s top official there,
filling a vacancy that the president has never addressed.
But the Trump administration has largely def…
