Trump Administration Orders Dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service. “…the most devastating attack on the U.S. Forest Service in the agency’s 121-year history. Not a budget cut. Not a policy shift. Not a ‘reorganization.’ An execution.” https://www.hatchmag.com/articles/trump-administration-orders-dismantling-us-forest-service/7716263
Trump administration orders dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service

Late Tuesday afternoon, with the subtlety of a wrecking ball and the morality of a foreclosure notice, the Trump administration announced the most devastating attack on the U.S. Forest Service in the agency’s 121-year history. Not a budget cut. Not a policy shift. Not a “reorganization.” An execution.

@ai6yr My way of getting the freshest roasted bean for myself and I don’t have a grinder. If the new owner’s of Peet’s start messing with that tho, I am going to have to find an alternative. They are already bringing in a ton of fruity Starbucks type drinks & closing locations.

Unsettled weather returns Thursday and continues into the weekend. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are possible Friday through Sunday with widespread beneficial rainfall expected over the weekend.
Price of a cup of coffee, in some cases, approaching my cost per pound of green coffee (did not buy coffee, lol...) #coffee #inflation
@ai6yr SFBA lattes much higher. Glad I taught myself years before the pandemic. If using Peet’s app to order even just half pound of coffee beans at cafe, they load a free beverage. So that is pretty much the only time I have a takeout one. Half pound lasts me 3 1/2 weeks if no company & they grind it for me. Large latte is $7. 1/2 lb organic coffee is $12. So I find it a good deal.
