AI Image. However in Oklahoma area there was once a Dire wolf with shoulders 6 feet high. Glad it is long extinct!

Speaking of the Lee Highway (Hwy 11), I live right near (a couple of miles) what is called "Dixie Lee Junction". It is where the Lee Hwy and the Dixie Hwy (Hwy 70) meet...

That Ace Hardware is my local hardware store...

Honeycomb Rocks ~ Highland Scenic Highway
Pocahontas County, West Virginia
These rocks, mostly sandstone and hematite, are an example of quartz boxwork hematite deposits, that are formed over eons of geological folding and weathering.
The folding caused cracks in the rocks which filled with iron-rich water that hardened into hematite.
Time and weather eroded the sandstone, leaving the much harder hematite, forming the raised squares, rectangles, and diamond shapes.

GUADALCANAL.
Captured Japanese Water Purifier, circa 1942
“USEFUL WAR PRIZE--- Marines on Guadalcanal Island captured this Japanese purification unit during a battle. The small unit is carried by the individual soldier on the battlefield. It is especially useful in jungle fighting, where it is difficult to secure water that is not contaminated. It’s handy, too, for the soldier who becomes separated from his detachment and has no way to get regular water supplies.” (Official USMC archive photograph)

Is that plant looking at me? Don’t make eye contact. Actaea pachypoda, the white baneberry or doll’s-eyes, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Actaea, of the family Ranunculaceae. The plant’s most striking feature is its fruit, a 1 cm diameter white berry, whose size, shape, and black stigma scar give the species the name, “doll’s eyes”. Did it just blink? No. You did.
A variety of birds, which are not affected by the toxins, or the creepy eyeball aesthetic, eat the berries and help disperse the seeds. However, the berries and the entire plant are considered poisonous to humans and can lead to vomiting, delirium, and stomach cramps. On that note, don’t eat it.

At my old house built in the very early 1950s, the medicine cabinet had a slot in the back of it to drop in razor blades. It also had a "chute" to drop them down through the floor and they dropped on the dirt under the house. When I was under the house running a new phone line, I came across a large pile of razor blades rusting away in the dirt.

If ships were designed by Gunnery rates.. Just Imagine..










John “Liver-Eating” Johnson was considered one of the strongest mountain men to trap in the West as well as the most feared Western fur trapper because of his vendetta against the Crow Indians.
The movie Jemima Johnson is based on him. When he killed a Crow Indian, he would cut them open and take a bite out of their liver. The Crows believed that it would prevent them from going to the "happy hunting grounds" in the afterlife.

Manhole cover in Xi'an, China



When I met my in laws, I spied this in the kitchen a case of PBRs




Lucky me.. when we sat down for my first dinner, My MIL went and opened the case of PBR, grabbed two beers, and placed them in front of me....Warm PBRs...

I had to choke down two warm PBRs with dinner to avoid insulting my MIL

Good Times!



More Xi'an






Xi'an is a walled city, one entrance has a Bell Tower, the other a Drum tower.
