These are being sold for pallet lumber.

PALLETS?!? Can't they use little trees for that? Why these magnificent kings of the forest? These would make beautiful pillars or something for structural architecture, wouldn't they?

Cubalayane (butchered that ack) crosses? been more than temped to use a Cuba to help with Kraienkoppe (When I get them again) but I know that tail angle would bite me in the behind long term.

There is Cubalaya in the mix, but they are mostly Ameraucauna bloodlines. The low tail is much more difficult to get and keep than a high tail. I am constantly selecting for tails below horizontal in my Cubalaya.
Bringing a tail up is easy.

Amazing Heart-Shaped Amethyst Geode Discovered by Miners in Uruguay

Gems and minerals are often given as tokens of affection. But one discovery of a naturally occurring amethyst geode doesn’t need any help in expressing love—it’s already shaped like a heart! Uruguay Minerals made this amazing find at the border of Uruguay and Brazil when workers broke open a rock that revealed a heart on either side of it.

Almost as perfect as it can be! I wonder how much it's worth?

It's worth what someone will pay for it.

A lot of furniture grade lumber is only selling as pallet lumber because of a dropout in the normal prices.

They were, the bottom is falling out now.

One of my brother in laws owns a sawmill and he is really struggling to find buyers for his furniture grade lumber. He has a few semi loads sitting on the yard waiting for someone to buy it.

This is Pearl. She is a 5-yo spayed lilac tabby-point Siamese cross. Her owner has dementia, and that lady's daughter has been looking to re-home her for several months. Pearl will be delivered to me this Saturday afternoon. She does have a minor health issue and has to get a shot a couple of times a year. She's good with dogs and other cats, and VERY cuddly, loving and playful. Can't wait!
