    Nice place for a nest. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.5649106,-74.4584124,3a,75y,21.68h,109.46t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1suInqOmnvUd_73LejBqu9wA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

    Bass River Fire Tower proposal

    In fact, that might even be a welcome step up for the employees in this situation. See and do something new. Be the vanguard test-bed for the state. And, if they decide it's not working out, then....

    Bass River Fire Tower proposal

    After reading all the pros and cons here, I vote to not cut the trees, and to instead use the current tower as the platform to erect the first camera for feasibility testing.

    Out of 100,000,000 people, how many have as many shipments as you? How many buy prime for the music and video mainly, and never want anything else? How big is Amazon. Do you think they may negotiate for shipping rates that you would find 'very' low? Think of car insurance. How many out of a...

    I found what I was looking at regarding the pie chart. It starts below at 5:40 and the chart is on 9:41. Thoughts? http://nbr.com/2018/04/27/nightly-business-report-april-27-2018/

    Sorry Jon! Maybe I'll come upon that pie chart and see my error.

    Scientists Find New Information on Rice-Killing Fungus

    Al, the Oswego is mostly rice on the lower half by August now. Shocking, really. You have to make a path through it for several hundred yards in some places.

    Sorry Boyd, I can't find it. I saw it on TV (PBS?) and I could have been wrong, maybe it was all revenue. Sorry if so.

    I saw a pie chart tonight showing where the Prime money goes. Fully 34% is Amazon profit.

    Tighten your belts, Prime members. They need more investment money. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/amazon-doubles-its-profit---and-hikes-prime-membership-by-20/2018/04/26/31f5a14c-489a-11e8-827e-190efaf1f1ee_story.html?utm_term=.6873508b6977

    Like I said, I won't completely rule Prime out. But anything I buy from them is not urgent, so I let things pile up in my cart (usually) until I have free shipping, or I wait the extra 3 days for the shipment. Many times I take the longer delivery (5-8 days) for free, and it still shows up 2 or...

    I have a strong feeling that customer service is going to degrade seriously in the years to come. I bought a laptop from Best Buy last week for someone, and waited patiently for it to come to the door today. Nobody came, so I checked my emails. They canceled the order because they ran out of...

    This morning I researched how to turn Cortana assistant off in Windows 10, and then did so. It would start up and use a lot of memory. I had to edit the registry key, something I hate fooling with.

    I have not joined Prime yet. I was shocked to see they have 100,000,000 people who give them $100 per year for faster shipping, movies etc. That is $10 Billion Dollars per year. Astounding. I won't say I'll never get Prime, but something makes me avoid it.
