  1. Video: A waka found on the beach could be the most important discovery in New Zealand archaeology. [Click] This could be the wreck of one of the first sea-going canoes to reach New Zealand. No carbon 14 dating has yet been done.

  5. Light rain last night and this morning, but the sun is coming out now (2PM).

    On a completely unrelated matter (if one does not believe in auguries), it will be two weeks before we get our monthly brokerage account statements, but I'm pretty sure our Tesla stock holdings are maintaining their value just fine. I remember chatting with our bond broker a couple of years ago about Tesla being rather interesting in ways, but we agreed it was too risky to invest in.

  7. Republicans in Congress are feeling the heat of the anger of their constituents. So they are meeting with Musk to implore him to bring the cuts he wants through the legislative process. You know…do it legally and not just ignore the Constitution for a change. It is highly likely that, purely in a partisan vote, all or most cuts can make it through Congress. But at least then there would be a record of how each member of Congress voted.

    Republicans push Musk to let Congress vote on DOGE cuts

  8. What is fear but desire?
    If you fear something bad
    that means you desire something good.
    Desiring good is holy
    and holy desire is Love.
    If Love is at the bottom of your fear
    then what is there to be afraid of?

  10. MSNBC Video: Losing the 'war'? Trump backs down in 'trade war' as markets slump, bankers say 'no' [Click] Well, that didn’t take long; but it hasn’t gone anywhere near far enough to suit me.
