Just had another substantial tree come down in the wood, quite suddenly and with a huge bang, as I was splitting firewood for this evening's cooking. Fortunately I was nowhere near it, but I'm a bit shaken.
The wind isn't even that strong.

A tree down in the wood. I'm not certain that this is the one that just fell, but to be perfectly honest I'm not too keen to go into that part of the wood just now to check!

The tree is spruce, about 25-30 metres tall; it lies across the chaotic partly— cleared area where about 2,000 trees came down in November 2021, where young willows, alder and oak are beginning to recover.

For once, I'm happy to have a vehicle that runs on petrol, fuel economy be damned. There's no diesel available anywhere around here! Sold out and hoarded by panicked drivers while the supply is blocked up by protesters. An EV would be a nice addition (a 2021 Renault Kangoo electric please, for maximum parts sharing) but is not presently in the budget or remotely justifiable to have two vehicles when we presently collectively use about a quarter tank of fuel per month fetching groceri…

German bargain grocer Aldi plans to open more than 180 U.S. stores this year.
The chain, which has been rapidly expanding since inflation surged in 2021, has set a goal of 3,200 stores globally by the end of 2028.
Trader Joe’s has been on an expansion spree.
Many Dollar General stores have begun selling fresh produce.
“Discounters are in this really tricky spot, where price is paramount, but they’re up against the likes of Walmart,” Moran said.

It’s worth noting that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, originator of the bad deductive rule in question, spent his later years falling for and vehemently defending a variety of hoaxes involving fairies and communicating with the dead:

Perhaps more of an adaptation than a cover, strictly speaking: a French translation and slight alteration of the old blues standard, "Poor Boy, Long Ways From Home." I love it - it's a gorgeous gut-punch every time.

Trump administration deepens quest to stamp out the events of Jan. 6
Trump’s effort to reframe what happened on Jan. 6 appears, in many ways, to be an attempt to shape public perceptions.
The details of what happened that day remain accessible and documented in an expansive universe of videos, accounts and court filings.

The day he was inaugurated last year, Trump pardoned most Jan. 6 defendants, some of whom are now seeking elected office.
The president also commu…
