TOTALLY RANDOM POST II

[moose eater]

That's a wellness spa/psychedelic retreat waiting to happen.

Just needs love.

Wait staff and help could be dressed in character?

Don't know for sure, but it might be on the market still. Possibly a hazmat site due to the gas station that was there, but I think their tanks were above ground for at least part of the time they were in business there.

Even if it's not contaminated, the land is likely worth more than the structure.

It's for sure a landmark.

Though no telling how much structural make-over would be needed for the years of vacancy and lack of use, as well as interior moisture problems..

Over the last 30+ years, the businesses that tried to make a go of it there were typically in separate structures; a quick-stop/Tesoro gas station, might've been a recreational tour thing happening there. and for a time, folks who lived deeper into the bush near there sometimes parked there.

Cantwell, Alaska is about 20 miles north of there. South of there, there's no real cross-road type towns until you get to Trapper Creek, about 90 miles or so south of there. Trapper Creek being about 15 miles north of Sunshine/Talkeetna Jct.

9,000-YEAR-OLD STONEHENGE-LIKE STRUCTURE FOUND UNDER LAKE MICHIGAN
NOVEMBER 30, 2020
Archaeologists found something much more fascinating than they got credit for when searching under the waters of Lake Michigan for shipwrecks: they uncovered a rock with a prehistoric carving of a mastodon, as well as a collection of stones arranged in a stonehenge-like manner.

In modern archaeology, the use of remote sensing techniques is common: scientists regularly survey lakes and soil for hidden objects.
Archaeologists uncovered sunken boats and cars and even a Civil War-era pier at a depth of around 40 feet into Lake Michigan’s Grand Traverse Bay, using sonar techniques to search for shipwrecks, but among all these, they found this prehistoric surprise, which a trained eye can guess by looking at the sonar scans photos in this article.

“When you see it in the water, you’re tempted to say this is absolutely real,” said Mark Holley, a professor of underwater archaeology at Northwestern Michigan University College who made the discovery, during a news conference with photos of the boulder on display in 2007. “But that’s what we need the experts to come in and verify.

The boulder with the markings is 3.5 to 4 feet high and about 5 feet long. Photos show a surface with numerous fissures.

Some may be natural while others appear of human origin, but those forming what could be the petroglyph stood out, Holley said.
Viewed together, they suggest the outlines of a mastodon-like back, hump, head, trunk, tusk, triangular-shaped ear and parts of legs, he said.

“We couldn’t believe what we were looking at,” said Greg MacMaster, president of the underwater preserve council.

Specialists shown pictures of the boulder holding the mastodon markings have asked for more evidence before confirming the markings are an ancient petroglyph, said Holley.

“They want to actually see it,” he said. Unfortunately, he added, “Experts in petroglyphs generally don’t dive, so we’re running into a little bit of a stumbling block there.”

If found to be true, the wannabe petroglyph could be as much as 10,000 years old – coincident with the post-Ice Age presence of both humans and mastodons in the upper midwest.

The formation, if authenticated, wouldn’t be completely out of place. Stone circles and other petroglyph sites are located in the area.

The discovery was made back a few years ago, and surprisingly enough the find hasn’t been popularized at all, with little to no information available online, but I’ll be sure to update this post as soon as I can get ahold of more info.

They need a scientist to come in and say that it's legit.

Then people can scream about how that scientist got paid so it's all bullshit.

Then backseat drivers and armchair medical professionals can scream about how the Satanic lizard pedophiles are subverting our culture letting people think medical science is not out to kill us and the clot shot isn't stopping us from deep throating Four Chan.

Are Some Of The UFOs Navy Pilots Are Encountering Actually Airborne Radar Reflectors?

Submarine-launched, radar reflector-toting balloons used to stimulate enemy air defenses can be traced back to a Cold War era Skunk Works program.

I had to translate that, due to being a typical uni-lingual 'Murican. I didn't catch the overall population of Bogota, Colombia to see how that number (~130) figures into the population in re. to % representation, but to have such very young people, younger than many I knew who were transient at an early age, including myself, in that condition, is discouraging to say the least.

Paths that may lead toward greater compassion or greater callousness in later life, depending on the metal and mentoring of/for each of them..

Pulled down some (Bodhi's) Space Cake #1 last night that had been intended for sampling and/or extract well over 6 months ago, that had been sitting unsealed and unrefrigerated in a kitchen cupboard in a quart zip-lock. The remnants of something I might've shared with others and or used in extract.

It's moderately seeded with self-pollinated seeds from stress flowers, or possibly from the White Lotus plants that trial run had shared a box with, which also showed some male stress flowers.

In either case, it was a testament to the days in which we smoked some very premium seeded weed, decades ago. It kicked both of our asses quite hard.

Decently long high, very floaty initially, then transitioned into a medicated state, and finally, about an hour or hour-and-a-half later, a nap-time buzz. Admittedly, it was fairly late in the evening when we imbibed.

The tissue in the very lower region of the left side of my throat, yet to be biopsied, protested through the night, though my wife experienced none of that discomfort, and the taste, overall, was exceptional, considering how dry and poorly kept it was.

I guess I'll need to pick out some of the more mature seeds. They're probably less than a couple years old at this point, and should be female..

A reconsideration of a plant I didn't keep due to rich soilless mix stressors, and initial (perhaps incorrect) assessment.

Caribou or reindeer?

Closely related, but not entirely the same.

Hmmm not sure I didn't get very far. Not sure what happened of this

I know it's a great idea for fish.

But then again... scales, feathers, and hair are all keratin.

It's really interesting how much and for how long vertebrates are exactly alike in embryonic development.

Personally, I often have felt like a fish out of water.

we all flounder at times...

I have sometimes perched, or been thought to be blue in my gills, too.

I just installed a new hook latch and eye bolt on the shed door.

The hasp wasn't keeping the door closed tightly enough, so when I passed it with the snowblower, despite the distance, I was partially loading up the interior ever so slightly with snow. A make-work phenomenon of sorts. Should be better now.

Now, for the installation of the voltage step-down converter on the snowblower, and the installation of a fairly BRIGHT LED conversion headlamp on the blower with 16 LED's in the lamp, making for an advertised 2,100 lumens. That ought to properly blind the neighbors when they look up my lengthy driveway at night when I'm bliowing snow and pointed toward the road. Nosy bastards, anyway...

Then, blowing the snow, so I can get to town without creating more hardpack in the driveway, and buy some octane booster for the new snowmobile; seems it's a bit more finicky in its fuel diet.

But first, a glass of the tequila and pomegranate juice beverage with, lime and lemon juices, tangerine seltzer water, three ice cubes, and a puff or 3 of White Lotus #1. It's a rule. Preparations before engaging in use of power tools or gas-powered equipment requires this..
