The drivers got lucky at the start, with a temperature of 4 degrees, the race actually started in the dry. The #92 Porsche would lead most of the race. Things would soon change though, the snow came down at around 6PM, by this point, it was already dark thanks to being in Winter. At around 8pm, in the heavy snow, Hans Stuck veered out of the shallow snow on the racing line to pass a lapped GT car, but in doing so, made slight contact with the lapped car, spinning it around into the heavy snow. Hans Stuck also ended up in the deep snow, with the Porsche now stuck. But, this was a tale of comebacks, Porsche are known for being prepared for anything, and it happened to be the case, that they were carrying a shovel in the car. They certainly knew about the possibility of snow. Hans Stuck dug his Porsche out of the snow and continued after being stuck for 10 minutes. The #92 Porsche showed amazing pace to the end, passing the leader in the final hour to win the 1985 Winter Le Mans. This would be the last time the Winter Le Mans was held, with it being canned the following year over safety concerns. |

As the frog hopped, the hawk just stared at it without much action. I fired as many shots as I possibly could of these two in frame without much thinking, and this one appeared as if they were walking together. Well, that’s the shot, I thought!" - Randy Wei |

In 1978, an FM radio station accidentally played "Imaginary Lover" at the wrong speed. The radio station received favorable calls and opted to let the song play at the incorrect speed. Sonically, the vocals resembled the voice of Stevie Nicks, who later heard of the incident and purchased the record. Upon playing the record at 45 rpm, she said that it gave her the chills and that it sounded "exactly like something I’d sing, the way I’d sing it". While Nicks was presenting demos for the Tusk album, she mixed in the sped up version of "Imaginary Lover" with her other material. One of her bandmates, Christine McVie, assumed that it was an original composition from Nicks and complimented her. Fleetwood Mac engineer Hernán Rojas later heard that the Atlanta Rhythm Section learned of the incident and "didn't find it as funny as we did". http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1706623745.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1706623745.jpg Mississippi, 1939...

I was in Atlanta this weekend and drove by our old neighborhood in Cumming. I remember a house that was built down a hill. As you can see from the picture, the roofline is even with the street. I remember the driveway was so steep, the people could not drive out and a driveway was added on the back of the house to the street below.

On July 4, 1904 the citizens all turned out to welcome the first passenger train at the brand new depot. Prior to the arrival of that first train, the only way to anywhere was by horse, and roads did not exist. The laying of track was a slow process. Mules were used to grade the ground. Part of a spur line that extended from Wybark to Osage Junction, Broken Arrow was a necessary stop. Steam engines needed water and fuel (wood or coal) about every 15 miles. Railroads also needed towns/stops to provide consumers for their services. The depot originally sat in the middle of Main Street and was not moved until Main Street was extended south. The street was 100 feet wide to accommodate the turning of wagons...going forward...because backing up was difficult. You can imagine the lifestyle differences then to now. |

These fortified settlements, often established by King Alfred the Great and his successors, were a response to the increasing threat posed by Viking raids. The development of burhs marked a significant shift in the defensive strategies of the era and had lasting impacts on the urban and political development of England. A burh was typically located at a strategically important site, such as a river crossing, a Roman fort, or at key points along established routes. The primary purpose of a burh was defence, and as such, they were constructed with substantial fortifications. These defences usually included a high earth bank topped with a wooden palisade and a deep surrounding ditch. The design and construction of these fortifications were often based on existing Roman structures, utilising their strategic insights and building techniques. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1706882432.jpg So that is how helicopters are born! |

These mickeys were not your ordinary potatoes; they had a distinct taste and texture that set them apart from all others. The hot potato vendors would set up their carts in strategic locations throughout the city, attracting customers with the tantalizing aroma of their freshly cooked mickeys. The mickeys were named after their creator, Mickey, a skilled potato farmer who had perfected the art of growing and cooking these potatoes. Mickey's mickeys were renowned for their crispy exterior and fluffy interior. People would line up eagerly, waiting for their turn to savor the deliciousness of these potatoes. The vendors would carefully slice the mickeys into thin strips and fry them to perfection, ensuring that each customer received a piping hot batch of crispy goodness. The mickeys quickly gained popularity among both locals and tourists. The vendors would often share stories about the origins of these unique potatoes, adding to the intrigue and allure. People would come from all corners of the city to taste the mickeys, and the hot potato vendors became an integral part of the bustling street culture of Manhattan. The hot potato vendors would offer a variety of toppings and seasonings to accompany the mickeys. Some customers preferred them plain, allowing the natural flavors of the potato to shine through. Others would opt for toppings like melted cheese, sour cream, or even a sprinkle of bacon bits, adding an extra layer of indulgence to their potato experience. As the mickeys gained popularity, the hot potato vendors became local celebrities. Their carts became gathering spots for friends and colleagues, where they would enjoy a quick and satisfying meal while engaging in lively conversations. The vendors would often share stories and jokes, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all who visited. The hot potato vendors and their mickeys became an integral part of the cultural fabric of Manhattan in 1892. Their presence added a touch of culinary delight to the bustling streets, creating a sense of community and shared enjoyment. The legacy of the hot potato vendors and their mickeys lives on, reminding us of the simple pleasures that can be found in a humble hot potato." http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1706893029.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1706893029.jpg |
