the Duster was nearly branded with the WB Tasmanian Devil character, following the success of the Road Runner, inexpensively licensing that character from WB. But no agreement was achieved, and the car’s name instead referenced the Taz “dust devils”
Keep in mind that the Super Bee was a Dodge/Mopar invention for much the same reason, once Chrysler realized how much better the Road Runner was selling, they began the sticker thing, as far as I know... with the 67 Road Runner
This 4×4 1954 IH was specially ordered by the Army Corps of Engineers for the Chief Engineers of the Minuteman Missile System in South Dakota. Just five were made, and three are known to survive.
The Minuteman Missile Program required vehicles like the R140 for accessing remote silo sites during the Cold War. With its full bus-style “Woody” body, seating for six, and ample cargo space, this truck played a key role in supporting the construction and maintenance of the missile system.
There's something I like about watching bulldozing and plowing, and mowing... maybe's it's all linked to the result of passing over rough material and making it smooth? I dunno. But plowing snow has an additional factor, it looks like the plow is pushing water
and it's so damn much faster than bulldozing
as the Statler Brothers sang in 1972, "do you remember those?"

Colorado officials reached an agreement announced this week allowing Union Pacific Railroad to continue to lease the Moffat Tunnel, the highest railroad tunnel in the United States.
“This is a big step forward in making Mountain Rail from Denver to Craig a reality,” Polis said in a statement. “Passenger Rail on this corridor will relieve traffic to one of Colorado’s iconic mountain communities and provide safe, reliable, affordable transportation options for tourists and skiers as well as workers traveling along the corridor. This historic agreement is an important step to protect continuous freight operations and finally deliver on the promise of passenger rail to Coloradans and I thank Union Pacific for its partnership.”
Sky-Hi News reported that Colorado can use Union Pacific’s tracks for up to three round trips per day in addition to existing routes run by federal passenger rail operator Amtrak. The Granby outlet said Union Pacific will allow the state to run passenger rail on its tracks between Denver and Craig in exchange for the lease on the tunnel.
John Putnam, a senior adviser for the Colorado Department of Transportation who led negotiations on the Moffat Tunnel, said the agreement allows the state to connect people and freight on the Western Slope and Front Range, which is what the state built the tunnel for 100 years ago.
geomagnetic super storms affected GPS signals all around the world, and affected the GPS signals that tractors rely on to automatically steer in straight lines,
Back in May, Earth was hit by five consecutive coronal mass ejections (CMEs) within a matter of two days.
While the geomagnetic super storms that these CMEs triggered gave us quite a light show—plastering beautiful auroras in the night sky—they also caught farmers off guard.
these reports show just how much solar weather can impact farmers.
a lot of people question the value of art, especially public art. But, I instead put the issue down to a case by case basis, some public art is obviously a waste of money, and paint. Also OBVIOUSLY, there is a LOT of good public art, but mostly it's low dollar amateur stuff that is the best, NOT the ego driven "artists"
