It will be the equivalent of getting Capone for tax evasion.
But it will be enough, especially if we can sweep the funders with them.

Just the right memories at this cold and windy day here. - enjoy.
#schwarzwald #blackforest

Nestled in the soft embrace of early morning light, this tranquil scene captures the quiet beauty of a forest trail in bloom. The foreground is adorned with delicate clusters of heather, their tiny blossoms ranging from soft pink to lavender, swaying gently as if whispering secrets to the breeze. The vibrant green of their stems contrasts beautifully with the muted earth tones of the trail.

The path itself—a winding dirt road—meanders gracefully into the distance, inviting wanderers to explore…

Marc Gurman said that Apple's plan to bring more ads to iOS is "gaining traction,"
-- with the Maps app being next in line.
The project will apparently give restaurants and other businesses the option to pay to have their details featured more prominently in search.
The system is said to be similar to Search Ads in the App Store, which allows developers to pay to have their software appear in a promoted slot above other results

Annual plant sale at #SutroStewards nursery! I picked up a couple of rare San Francisco wallflowers and some little coast buckwheats, both #CaliforniaNatives.

View downhill to the nursery, on a long strip of land from left to right. It’s foggy and there’s a euc forest behind

Sutro Nursery Plant Sale. Hand-drawn propped cardboard sign with art of orange and yellow flowers, one with a purple butterfly resting on top.

Two gallon pots of wallflower and several thin deep pots of buckwheat in a bike bag. None are in bloom currently, it’s just green leaves.
