Altman was one of many towns that formed around the rich mines of the Cripple Creek District. At an elevation of over 10,600 feet, this was the district's highest settlement.

I need one of those masks when my dog farts. And I don't get those erasers. They sucked back then ad they still suck. Use it too much and you tear your paper. I liked the Japanese plastic erasers.

Fairbanks was established in 1903 after the discovery of gold in the area. Development of the district was slow as most of the gold was trapped in deep gravel deposits which required heavy machinery to extract profitably. With time these challenges were overcome, and Fairbanks became the center of Alaska's premier gold producing district.

Absolutely, the Japanese erasers are far, far better. I remember ink pens that had erasers. Those erasers were similar to the pink erasers, but tougher AND seemed like they had grit like sand paper. Those erasers would tear through paper even faster.

Another great eraser is a kneaded eraser

When I was a kid in Japan, erasers was a big thing for another reason. We collected/traded them.

In 1943, with the operator still in the driver’s seat, a tank enters the paint drying process at the Chester Tank Depot in Chester, Pennsylvania.
For protection against the elements, tanks were painted before being shipped to Europe or the Pacific. Ordinarily, it would take 24 hours to dry but under these infrared rays, it can dry in four minutes. The old saying of something being “more boring than watching paint dry” does not apply here.

Meet Madam Jeanne Louise Calment, who had the longest confirmed human lifespan: 122 years, 164 days. Apparently, fate strongly approved of the way she lived her life. She was born in Arles, France, on February 21, 1875. The Eiffel Tower was built when she was 14 years old. It was at this time she met Vincent van Gogh. "He was dirty, badly dressed, and disagreeable," she recalled in an interview given in 1988.
When she was 85, she took up fencing, and still rode her bike when she reached 100. At the age of 114, she starred in a film about her life, at age 115 she had an operation on her hip, and at age 117 she gave up smoking, having started at the age of 21 in 1896. She didn't give it up for health reasons; her reason was that she didn't like having to ask someone to help her light a cigarette once she was nearly blind.
In 1965, Jeanne was 90 years old and had no heirs. She signed a deal to sell her apartment to a 47-year-old lawyer called André-François Raffray. He agreed to pay her a monthly sum of 2,500 francs on the condition he would inherit her apartment after she died. However, Raffray not only ended up paying Jeanne for 30 years, but then died before she did at the age of 77. His widow was legally obliged to continue paying Madam Calment until the end of her days.
Jeanne retained sharp mental faculties. When she was asked on her 120th birthday what kind of future she expected to have. Her reply, "A very short one."
Here are the Rules of Life from Jeanne Louise Calment:
"I'm in love with wine."
"All babies are beautiful."
"I think I will die of laughter."
"I've been forgotten by our Good Lord."
"I've got only one wrinkle, and I'm sitting on it."
"I never wear mascara; I laugh until I cry often."
"If you can't change something, don't worry about it."
"Always keep your smile. That's how I explain my long life."
"I see badly, I hear badly, and I feel bad, but everything's fine."
"I have a huge desire to live and a big appetite, especially for sweets."
"I have legs of iron, but to tell you the truth, they're starting to rust and buckle a bit."
"I took pleasure when I could. I acted clearly and morally and without regret. I'm very lucky."
“Being young is a state of mind, it doesn’t depend on one’s body. I’m actually still a young girl, it's just that I haven't looked so good for the past 70 years."
At the end of one interview, the journalist said, "Madame, I hope we will meet again sometime next year." To which Jeanne replied, "Why not? You're not that old; you'll still be here!”

I thought the same thing. I bought a super cheap set of tires on line from Walmart for my 175K mile Passat. I had them shipped to our local store and they mounted and balanced (lifetime) for like $12 ea. The Walmart tire guy did a far better job (no wheel scrapes, used stick on weights and smooth at speed) than the guy at the local NTB did with a new set of Continentals on my wife’s Honda minivan. I specifically stated stick on weights on the van and took it back 3 times before I gave up.

BTW I used to deal with the Wurth guy at our shop and bought all our stick on wheel weights from him. That’s probably $300 worth of weights in that picture! Those things are expensive.

Many years ago, we used NTB for things. I got decent service at first, but then we moved and tried 2 or 3 different NTBs near our new home, and got horrible service at every one, dinged wheels, broken studs, screwdrivers driven through center caps, horrible alignments, etc.... I don't know if they changed or I was just in a nexus of sheiße NTBs. But I've not been back since.

Four legged tree in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
One hundred years ago (1915), John Henning planted 4 linden tree saplings—2 on either side of the walk—leading up to his front door. Mr. Henning, a farmer who had immigrated from Germany as a young man, had moved into town when he retired. With lots of expereince grafting apple trees, he aimed to imitate the archways of lindens he recalled from Berlin. First, the two on the same side of the walk were lashed together and grafted. Then when each pair was tall enough to arch over the walk, he grafted the pairs. Over time, a towering trunk grew from the original four.
The four-legged tree of Cedar Falls has weathered two major setbacks in its long life. Not too many years after Mr. Henning started his project, the front right tree died and a replacement was grafted in. Thus the lesser girth of that trunk.
