Surprised those pipes are still intact now.

The farthest north I've been is Whitehorse,Yukon Territory at this same time if year.A night is so short here at this time of year that it almost seems that if you blink,you'll miss it.

It looks like the outside was well coated with creosote.

Fun to see glimpses of olden days. Every once in awhile, seeing a patch of paved-over cobblestone emerge from a pothole makes me think of generations before.

We have that in Regina.The downtown streets were paved with wooden blocks which sometimes come to light when roadwork is being done.

Nice. If you like that kind of history, this is interesting:

I like history in general, but especially knowing how normal people lived in days past.

Checking Samsung Galaxy 10 inch tablet, so many versions, little differences on each, what a nightmare for cases.... :-)
