Houston Gulf Oil building with the 53' gulf sign on the roof.

Ad from Cherokee Texas 1900. Colt 45 $3

Interesting tidbits about the differences between a jack knife, pen knife, whittler's knife, and fisherman's knife

Brown & Sharp 2"-3" micrometer with a pat date of Dec 30, 1902. I just bought it for $3. I paid nearly double that for shipping.


I saw a small tarantula hawk the other day (not my photo, but looked like this)


From back in May, pretty much our entire property, nearly 6 acres is covered with these for 1-2 weeks, and for another week or 2 before and after, we get early birds and stragglers. They are 1-1.5" across.


This year, I even saw a mutant with 4 petals.
