Comcast is simplifying its Xfinity internet plans and dropping data caps:

The plans will include unlimited data with no data caps, spokesperson Joel Shadle confirms to The Verge. They’ll also come with an Xfinity WiFi Gateway and a free line of Xfinity Mobile cellular service for one year.

About time Xfinity removes data caps. You must opt in to the new plans and they won’t reduce the cost if you opt out from their equipment.

In case you wondered why there are roadless areas on Forest Service land, Zeke Lunder has a good video discussing that. Roadless areas exist due to ruggedness of terrain and lack of timber. Yes, I guarantee those lands were considered in the log everything era of the 1960s-1980s.

Overnight, an unusual but small M3.6 earthquake happened north of us in Redding, Ca. Crystal clear detection but we slept through any shaking (possibly too far for surface shaking here) #Earthquake recorded on the #RaspberryShake #CitizenScience

A digital display shows seismic data for a 3.6 magnitude earthquake in Northern California, including a waveform and frequency spectrogram, with a map highlighting the location near Redding.

We’ve a bumper crop of volunteer Holy Basil plants and we’re extremely pleased #Yarden Young Holy Basil plants growing in a garden with a drip irrigation system. Orange pin flags are placed at almost each plant. The ground has soil with small rocks and other organic matter.

Today we suspended shade cloth over the avocado trees. The trees will now survive 100°F+ temperatures coming later this week. Heatwaves are on the way to California!

A shade cloth covering a small area of trees. A wheelbarrow is partially visible to the right, and ropes are stretched across to keep the cloth from resting on the small trees. The ground is covered with wood chips and gravel.

Two short avocado trees with a shade cloth suspended overhead and attached by rope to a fence. There is a gravel path along the far fence and close to the camera with wood chips inbetween. A drip hose snakes between the two trees. The sun is already shaded out with the cloth’s shadow projected along the fence.

Yarden pool season has begun. Rubber ducks (and more elsewhere) serve as life rafts for insects. Most of this water was carried over from last year. Under a canopy, an above-ground pool with clear blue water, a metal ladder, and a towel hanging on the edge. There's a garden in the background with a shed, grapes, elderberry, various trees, and a horrible sunshade nextdoor. Little sun bleached rubber ducks float by.
