It comes down to the fact that the USPS or maybe DoT has regulations for mailbox construction. And, the road right of way includes the shoulder and sidewalk where the mailbox is placed. While those area are not intended for normal traffic, they are nominally part of the public roadway. Placing an obstacle in the roadway is prohibited. And, mailboxes built beyond specification open the land/homeowner up to civil (and potentially) criminal liability.

We can debate whether this is “right,” but right =/= lawful.

Yup, This looks like something that meets federal regulations… my neighbors most
Hillbilly woodchuck methbox that is now a neighborhood icon!

It’s never been hit that I know of. Even when I drag it on to the road for a few minutes to run a mower deck under it.

That is fascinating, thanks for sharing. Some of them were like miniature atomic explosions. Near stickey material. I wonder what two 175 grain bthp's would lok like.

Down at the Gettysburg museum are several pairs of bullets that hit and fused in flight. Can you imagine being on a battlefield with so much lead flying that the minie’s are hitting each other and fusing…

100%.

My dad had faith in my jumping.
He often laid down for big air launched over him.
Bike
Roller blades (hockey style)
Hockey skates
Skis (including a big floating 360 grab after the 98 Olympics and Johnny Mosley’s gold in Moguls)


Isn’t Chloe a girl’s name?

Or am I misgendering a steer?




P

My buddy raises a big number of beef cattle a year, around 1000 head.
Steers and heifers either way.
Ive eaten a lot of both.
All delicious, amazing marbling.
Fed a good diet, upping the corn at the end.
No grass fed only BS.

The sell more bikes to bull dykes these days than to men... It's probably their biggest growing segment.

Their market is dying off. Literally. Bull dykes have money and want to ride Harley's. There are more nasty ugly skanks on bikes around here than ever...

Fuck''em....oh, wait, hold that thought.
 
So it's a museum exhibit? I think it was running in the 90's... which is why I figured it might still be in service!

Great photo!!!

As a kid I remember trains on that track, 70s time frame. Cargo only by than. No passenger cars.

Those B&M cars ran through Medford Ma though. We called the “Budliners”.

I couldn’t have been 4-5 years old going over to the tracks and putting coins down to get squashed.

Our parents warned us we would get sucked under the train if we got to close so it was wicked safe.

They fused I suspect because at the time the mini’s and the ball’s were pure lead………

Precisely. And slow moving.

But think of the volume of fire that it took for that to happen not once, but several times. And that’s just the bullets they found…

The hornets nest was named for a reason.

Just to throw some figures out there…

Gettysburg took place over 3 days. But really was about 16 hours of fighting. Half the day of July 1. All day July 2. And the morning of July 3 — Picketts Charge and minimal withdrawal skirmishes.

In those roughly 16 hours, 51000 soldiers were killed or wounded. 10k killed. That is 10 per minute killed. That is 40 per minute wounded. Or a casualty per second for 16 hours.

About 170,000 soldiers fought.

10,000 bodies were left in a town of 900
Residents. There was no organized Army Graves Registration or follow-up until 1864.

120 tons of rifled musket ammunition were fired. That is roughly 53 Million rounds. 3.3
Million shots per hour — an average of 20 shots per soldier per hour. (Keeping in mind not all were front line troops… it was much higher for most of the front line combatants.)

Another 309 tons of ammunition were fired by artillery.

No wonder they are still digging up minie’s!

I cannot imagine being on that battlefield.
