Thought the dog was hurt and bleeding all over the patio, but he just managed to step on some of my cochineal cactus bugs and was smearing it all over the patio. Looked exactly like bloodstains. #FalseAlarm #mashedbugs
#Mexico #eCommerce #Amazon: "So the e-commerce companies started developing their own courier services. Still, these new logistics providers don’t quite have the range to reach every address in Mexico.
Enter the humble corner shop. They’re found in the smallest, most remote communities and are deemed trustworthy by locals. Plus, they’re places that already receive shipments or mail, so they’re easy to find on delivery routes. This latter point was important across sprawling suburbs and rural or remote areas, where addresses tend to be inaccurate or outright missing from satellite navigation maps. E-commerce companies reached out to these shops, inviting them to become pickup and delivery points.
Shoppers can register these corner stores as P.O. boxes when making online purchases. And instead of going to an official DHL or UPS office, which may be in a different city altogether, they can use local shops to drop off an item they might want to return."

Flashback a year to the luckiest photo I ever took. For five years I had been using a Sony super zoom camera and then someone graciously gifted me w the Nikon 200-500. I put it on a D500 body and got this tiger swallowtail on my first day. No cropping—this was the composition straight out of the camera. It was meant to be!
I can't id this #plant. A small dog the size of half a small dog for scale.
We have a new puppy, but it's a bit weird, so we'll probably sweep it under the rug and wait for another to appear.
