Left: date is unknown but we note the symmetry and balance that’s achieved through combining bowls and stackable plates. Right: In the 1950s there were contests held to see who could deliver the most soba. Pictured here is the winner of such contest carrying meals for about 100.
Maybe that one was a failed contest attempt.

When we tracked the modified Z06 Vette, with stock brakes (we kept the power to 500hp, but it was capable of over 800hp when adjusting) I was a regular at O'Reilly's, since the brake rotors had a lifetime warranty, lol. So I always had spare rotors and since the most we got out of a set on a track weekend was one event, sometimes a event and a half.
The last thing you want to happen braking from 180mph to go through turn 1 at Roebling Road is for the rotors to explode.

Washakie (c.1804[1]/1810 – February 20, 1900) was a prominent leader of the Shoshone people during the mid-19th century. He was first mentioned in 1840 in the written record of the American fur trapper, Osborne Russell. In 1851, at the urging of trapper Jim Bridger, Washakie led a band of Shoshones to the council meetings of the Treaty of Fort Laramie (1851). Essentially from that time until his death, he was considered the head of the Eastern Shoshones by the representatives of the United States government. In 1979, he was inducted into the Hall of Great Westerners of the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum
Much about Washakie's early life remains unknown, but some information is revealed. Washakie was born between 1798 and 1810. His mother Lost Woman, was a Tussawehee (White Knife) Shoshoni by birth. His father, Crooked Leg (Paseego), was an Umatilla rescued as a boy from slave traders at Wakemap and Celilo in 1786 by Weasel Lungs, a Tussawehee dog soldier (White Knife) Shoshoni medicine man. Crooked Leg was adopted into Weasel Lungs' clan. He became a Tussawehee dog soldier (White Knife) Shoshoni and married Weasel Lungs' eldest daughter Lost Girl, later Lost Woman. His maternal grandmother, Chosro (Bluebird)), was also Tussawehee by birth. Lost Woman's younger sister, Washakie's aunt, was Nanawu (Little Striped Squirrel). She was the mother of Chochoco (Has No Horse), a first cousin to Washakie.[3] On September 9, 1860 Settlers under Elijah Utter were killed on the Oregon Trail by Shoshoni and Bannack. Zachias Van Ornum a relative of those killed believed a white boy among the Shoshoni was his nephew Reuben Van Ornum and took him away; the Shoshni protested that the boy was the son of a sister of Washakie and a french trapper.

The Crow are also called the Apsáalooke, Absaroka, and Apsaroke. Their name was given them by the Hidatsa, and meant “people [or children] of the large-beaked bird.” Historically, they lived in the Yellowstone River Valley. A Siouan tribe, they once were part of the Hidatsa, living around the headwaters of the upper Mississippi River in northern Minnesota and Wisconsin. Later, the Crow moved to the Devil’s Lake region of North Dakota, before splitting with the Hidatsa and moving westward.
Settling in Montana, the tribe split once again into two divisions, called the Mountain Crow and the River Crow. They were first encountered by two Frenchmen in 1743 near the present-day town of Hardin, Montana. When the Lewis and Clark expedition came upon them in 1804, they estimated some 350 lodges with about 3,500 members.

The Piegan are one of the three groups that make up the Blackfoot Confederacy. They were the most dominant group in the northern Great Plains during the 19th century. The Piegan used to live in the Rocky Mountain Front, the place where the Rocky Mountains meet the Plains, for thousands of years before moving further into the Plains. They lived a nomadic and semi-agricultural life before the introduction of guns and horses into their society. The introduction of European goods facilitated the hunting of bison and prompted them to move into the northern Plains, where they went on to dominate the region. Their first encounter with white people occurred in the 1787-88 winter, when they let a fur trader James Gaddy and an explorer David Thompson camp with them. The Piegan numbered around 3,700 in 1858, a small population previously decimated by smallpox and starvation. Today there are around 27,000 full blooded Piegan Blackfeet, and around 80,000 of Piegan descent. The Piegan population is split between the U.S.-Canada border, as they were historically forced to pick a side when the borders were drawn. These divisions, however, only physically split up a nation, as the bonds of its people are that of blood and are thus stronger than any barrier between them.

Portrait of the famous Lakota chief (1835-1905) wearing a war bonnet, holding a stone-head club and peace pipe, titled: "Rain-in-the-Face". D. F. Barry photographer's credit and back mark with image of Chief Gall. Rain-in-the-Face was one of the chiefs who participated in the Battle of Little Big Horn. In 1874, Custer's brother Thomas had the chief arrested for the murder of army veterinarian Dr. John Honsinger, but he managed to escape from jail. He both claimed and denied responsibility for killing the Custer brothers and ended his days at the Standing Rock Agency reservation. A very fine example.
