Some while ago I posted this image with a comment “yes, but why?”
I now suspect it’s plain, simple greed. Putin has offered him $$$ to be made in Russia, but only if he brings the war in Ukraine to a “satisfactory” conclusion. Trump knows Putin can deliver.
Nothing clever or hidden, just greed.

Had to go over to Harrogate today so we took the opportunity to take a stroll around RHS Garden Harlow Carr With a good coat and hat it was a very enjoyable visit under the lovely blue sky.

Last night's minimum temperature in the garden. A bit nippy. But we are in the second half of November and this is the first time this autumn it's dipped below zero. Remarkable.

Thanks a *!$#* million, Google
The one of your services I actually valued and considered worth giving you open access to my data. Seems you are so incompetent as a tech provider that you don't have a backup!
I'm sure you'll understand that I'm now turning off all that I can from your tracking
