Not sure if this is because Seattle's home to Amazon or many American cities have these. As an apartment-resident I definitely think Canada can use more delivery options.
Amazon is building a 3 bubble biosphere in Seattle. They are going to be impressive structures although they are much smaller than Biosphere 2 which I visited the previous week.

The Amazons were the race of warrior women who engaged the Greeks in battle a number of times. They came to the aid of King Priam in the Trojan War, but before that there was the episode of Herakles fighting them to obtain the girdle of their queen Hippolyte, which Carpenter describes. Theseus fought the Amazons after they invaded Attica. He then abducted the Amazon queen Antiope and married her. Carpenter tells of some of the places where the Athenians battle with the Amazons was depicted including the shield of the Athena Parthenos. The Amazons were to have lived somewhere in the far north near the Black Sea and though the Greek attitude toward them is generally one of contempt and derision (as well as victorious over them in battle), there were several cities which had cults to the Amazons in historical times such as Delphi and Athens. The Amazons and the Centaurs were both considered barbarians, unlike the civilized Greeks, and are thematically linked as representing the Persians in several places in representation like the Parthenon, the Temple of Apollo at Bassae and the paintings of the Theseion mentioned above. Here we see a rather sympathetic and sensitive depiction of an Amazon that has been wounded. This work here is from the Met in New York and is believed to be a Roman copy of an original bronze. At some point the Amazons began to be depicted much like Artemis, in a short dress, pulled up for freedom of movement. Look up this statue on the Met's website and read the description there.
The beginnings of a new day. For us a long flight back to Miami. But I gotta tell you it was a great start.
From Leticia (Colombia) I travelled upriver on the Amazon and docked on the Peruvian side of the river from where I travelled in a canoe along a channel to Marasha nature reserve, staying on the lake / lagoon Marasha. We took canoes out looking for wildlife in the afternoon, evening and early morning.

In 2022, I returned to Colombia. The main purpose of this trip was to explore the Amazonian rainforest areas near Leticia and then on the Rio Negro. In 2007 I was in the Leticia area on a volunteering project and the 2022 trip gave me the chance to see more of the area.
As these are border areas, with the rivers travelled actually being the borders, I also visited / transitted through Brazil, Peru and Venezuela. I will create one master set / album for the entire six week trip, plus separate country albums to help viewers who are interested only in a specific country.
I also spent time in Bogota and in the Boyaca region. Overall intinerary: London - Leticia - Bogota - Villavincenzio - Rio Negro - Puerto Inirida - Bogota (incl Nemocon) - Villa de Leyva - Tunja - Bogota - London.
Amazon packaging now has adverts on the outside. Is this ambient advertising since its on the outside of the package? And if so how would Oasis' record company measure its effectiveness?
The Brazilian Amazon.

Amazon clearly has my number. These are its best recommendations for me. Not one, but two kinds of rechargeable batteries. You know, because I live on the wild side. Lucky no Ensure, adult diapers, or "special supplements" recommended. Yet.

Amazon's Boeing 767-300 headed into Ontario, CA. This was a "what are the odds" shot from our daughter's back yard and now I've seen & photographed this plane on two consecutive trips to California and both from our daughter's yard.

Amazon are adding UPC (barcodes) to their newspaper print ads. It briefly seems retrograde (why not a QR code) until you consider the main use-cases for Amazon's app.
