November 20, 2025Telegraph pole that was part of the trunk route for cables between Coventry and Atherstone [1556 x 906]
November 20, 2025A Sisiyuti lukwalit (House Dish), was used by the First Nations people in Coastal BC, Canada. It stored food, and was wheeled out during massive feasts. It had wheels with axles, which shows that the FN in that area had invented them but didn’t use them for wagons. (400×225)

mikestuchbery on November 13, 2025 4:20 pm When I was 9, I visited Les Invalides with my family. Upon seeing this, I turned to my dad and asked, ‘Was he okay?’. The look of pity and amusement on his face, I remember to this day.
