    Yeah - I thought it was some kind of diorama or shadow box or curio cabinet -- with rather large cubbies (you know, big enough to hold a bike and whatnot).
    I gradually realized I was getting a crossover's-eye view of the outside world.

    I recently read a quote (ostensibly) from Steven Tyler that I found quite apt and amusing (although I imagine, to him, only in retrospect) referring to their Night in the Ruts era. It was something along the lines of:
    A lot of rock musicians use some drugs. We were drug users who played some music.

    LOL, it was just hanging out on the window. Was at a B-day party for one of my cousins in Adkins TX, the grasshoppers are, uh, pretty big there. They make quite a mess of the front of your truck if you drive way out in the country.

    As a kid growing up in TX, we didn't have anything else better to do in the summer but ride our bikes in the woods and catch things like this and praying mantis's and put them in a small box together. The grasshoppers would kick the living crap out the mantis but eventually become dismembered.

    The biggest spider I have ever seen was out in the middle of nowhere in Texas. I didn't kill it, I got the hell away from it.

    Popular Mechanics has an article about Texas and Hammerhead Flatworms:

    0jwght1p9xjr.png

    There’s an invasive species of worm making itself known in Texas once again—the hammerhead flatworm. These worms are toxic, hard to kill, and dangerous to native critters like earthworms, but likely pose little danger to humans or larger animals. Experts encourage people to kill these worms on site, and to avoid touching them directly, as the toxins they produce can irritate skin.

    They might not be as ferocious as the sandworms from Dune, but hammerhead worms are nothing to sneeze at themselves. They’re toxic. They can carry parasites. They can grow to over a foot long. If they're cut in half, both halves regenerate.

    I believe that. Biggest spiders I've seen are in Texas for sure.

    This is a 1937 Alvis LeMans car with an interesting looking front suspension design and front wheel drive to boot! The suspension looks like a modern independent setup but using leaf springs as control arms
    with the pivots being replaced by the flex in the springs - I assume the shaft in the centre is the drive shaft. The adjustment nut in the bottom pic looks like it should be some sort of friction damper control, but what is it acting on?

    The control dial looks like the clockwork timer control on the first auto oven timer stove that my mother had. I remember this as she was over the moon chuffed about it - like she had won the lottery or that they had invented Viagra 25 years early just for Dad.
