If you can think of something to talk about that is not related to knives, discuss it here.

Thanks, John. That's what I figured ::hmm:: . How did all that work? I see there is a cab on the top side and wondered if the plow has any way to move itself or does all the power come from the engine behind it and was there a crew that rode in the plow ? I see it's built very close to the track to keep snow from building up under it, I assume ::paranoid:: , :lol: . All very interesting when you don't live where it snows!

That's a cool looking stump. Looks like a dead and decayed guy slumped over a pile of sticks. ::uc::

All highly interesting photos. What tremendous character the older cars had. That yellow pedal car is a trip! Something very special about light houses. I have friends who collect models of everyone they can. I have only visited a couple myself.

Two years ago I had the privilege to visit the Owls Head Transportation Museum, located in Owls Head, ME. (See here for a sampling of the collection there http://owlshead.org/collections/category). By far the finest and most extensive collection of automobiles, bicycles, vintage airplanes and motorcycles I have seen anywhere! While we were there looking at a 1933 Packard convertible on display, one of the museum guides made the observation that people didn't realize at the time that they were driving works of art.

ken & jmh, Thanks so much for sharing those wonderful photos with us. Interesting that bicycle design was established by 1898. Many of the bikes look very similar to contemporary bikes.

Our newer model cars give us greater mpg but often less fmpg. [fun miles per gallon.]
