He forgot he wasn't flying a plane with Lucas electrics, and figured he needed a backup.

Yep, on his way to the Concours d'Lemons.









The camera aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique and iconic view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth in August 2015, from a distance of 1 million miles.


The Tudor Merchant House, also known as Number 16 Edmund Street, boasted the distinction of being a Grade II listed building until its fate was threatened by the construction of a new road, signaling its imminent demolition. Originating from around 1430, this ancient structure held the honor of being one of Exeter's oldest surviving houses. Unfortunately, its dilapidated condition rendered it seemingly insignificant to some, leading to its slated demise.
However, the tenacious efforts of archaeologists played a crucial role in reevaluating its importance. Recognizing its architectural and historical significance, the house was listed just in the nick of time, ultimately saving it from destruction. The intervention of Exeter City Council, in conjunction with government support, earmarked £10,000 to orchestrate the relocation of the house, allowing it to coexist harmoniously with the new road.
To carry out this ambitious move, a London-based company led by Mr. Fordham Pryke, alongside the assistance of a local firm, T D Keate, were commissioned for the task. The mission entailed transporting the house approximately 70 meters away from its original location at the intersection of Edmund Street and Frog Street to a fresh spot near the old West Gate, situated at the base of West Street.
The relocation process was an intricate affair, requiring meticulous preparation over several weeks. The timber framework of the house was carefully reinforced with 10 tons of strengthening timbers, and iron wheels were strategically positioned at each corner, connected to hydraulic jacks. The entire structure, weighing an impressive 21 tons, was treated with utmost care, ensuring no harm would befall the original timbers by abstaining from using iron bolts, screws, or supports against them.
Given its top-heavy nature, extra precautions were taken during the relocation. The hydraulic jacks played a pivotal role in maintaining the house's upright position throughout the move, and frequent checks using spirit levels ensured its stability. With dedication and precision.

Pretty sure that's him. He always does the Concourse du Lemons. He usually picks up a car from these guys when he gets out there.

Slater's Bridge in Cumbria is the most picturesque and one of the oldest surviving bridges in Britain's Lake District. The 17th-century footbridge was made entirely from slate by miners who worked in the nearby slate quarries of Tilberthwaite Fells.






Melissani Cave is located on the island of Kefalonia, in the Ionian Sea. Some say the water is so clear the boats look like they are floating on air, like this picture by Dionisis Kaminaris seems to confirm.


News Paper article about the first train to come to Shawnee Oklahoma. On July 4th 1895 the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad (later bought by Rock Island) entered Shawnee.

Porn, those girls were dressed, so how was it porn?
But I figured those with a short attention span would enjoy.

I think it's pretty clear you have a sexual attraction to dwarfs. Hiding behind a 'short' joke doesn't disguise the psychological projection.

Just look how big the wheel of the B-36 Peacemaker is compared to the car!


Now that's what is called a huge pile of...manure.
When wood or coal was unavailable on the open prairie to use as fuel for cooking heat and warmth, buffalo and cow dung or chips were an accessible and inexpensive option.
Used around the world, cow chips have also been a source of fertilizer, building material, and entertainment like cow pie bingo and catch.

And what is wrong with that, at least they are real females.
