I'm LOLing at that Range Rover. I bet someone got their Amex taken away! Thing is, it isn't really in that deep, and wouldn't be at all difficult to extract... if you had the balls to yank on it. Most people who don't get themselves into that situation think you can just pull on them, and it...

The New York Public Library today released a huge number of historical maps, alongside a web-based tool for overlaying and displaying them in different ways. I haven't actually managed to log in to the site yet, I suppose its getting hammered. Here is a business insider piece on the site...

I never knew there was a Pic II. Where is that place?

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Good Night!

Rang at least one. You played the unmixed version for me last time I was down :). It really sounds awesome in the final mix, especially the guitar part. You make that Seagull sing, man. Btw, I ran across this video on Youtube yesterday. Not sure if you've seen it:

Hahaha, I love that clip.

Love that melody, Gabe. Merry Christmas!

Holy crap... and ouch.

Ho ho ho!

It's quite a story, and there is still a lot to see out there. You can still trace the path of the railroad they built to connect the plant with factory "town" to the southeast. I didn't realize it was operational for so short a time.

Nice pics, Jay. I've explored those buildings as well, although I haven't and wouldn't enter the main house, as much as I'd like to see it. I've also marveled at the hand-hewn beams, of which there are many examples still extant on both sides of the river. I'm surprised you got your vehicle up...

You can always get one of those Aussie bush hats with the chin strap :). But I agree, not a hat guy, and especially not in the woods.

That's almost like an orienteering course.

They're not mutually exclusive groupings, imo. What banksy creates is art... which, when created on someone else's property without permission is also vandalism.

For the reason Guy gave, and the same reason that the ruins at Harrisville are fenced off. People are assholes.

I don't know about the fill part, but I always assumed it primarily referred to draining.

I love reading lines like this that contrast the way our ancestors viewed their environment with the way we tend to view ours. By any measure based purely on human advantage swampland is unproductive, useless, and possessed of unhealthy vapors and emanations. So it must be filled in and made...

I think I've run across this before... perhaps in "Iron in the Pines." Like many here I read a lot of old writing, and I often wonder about the differences in the use of language. In our day terseness and efficiency usually trump all other considerations. I think our forebears had fewer channels...
