Glen, where are you getting the pictures of the Tribes?

Fantastic stuff!

Better picture of the area I ran around in, in 1969:

Various sites are the sources of the Indian photos. Heartfelt History is just one.

https://famok.org/ They just opened up the First Americans museum in Oklahoma City last week.

I don't see any PARF in the chart.

Looks like the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley to the coast. The San Andreas is pretty evident. I always like relief maps like that.

Works for me! I purposely only posted an image in response to the anti-vaxxer image, rather than sharing any personal feelings on the subject.

I went back and looked back at the image you quoted and it just said unpoisoned and showed a syringe. There was nothing that implicity expressed a vaccine was in question.
Could have been any kind of abused substance that is injected.
I guess I'm not someone that automatically links poison with vaccines.

I've seen it online several times. It certainly strikes me as being, at least, marketed to, anti-vaxxers.

It would be a little odd to wear a shirt that said "I'm not a heroine addict," but these days, there are lots of folks that are rabidly against getting the covid jab.









I've read that for a very long time there have been standards or, at least, best practices around stair layout. Apparently, one of the items (besides ranges/ratios for tread depth and riser height) is that they need to be consistent. So If they all measure 6" tall, but then one is 6.5" tall, you end up with a big trip hazard.
None of the stairs in my place are consistent. The top step is 6" tall, the rest are 7-9". Most of them are 11-11.25" deep at least.

But the worst part is where they put winders in. And the piece de resistance is that the smallest, most awkward winder is also the tallest of all of the steps at 9".
