I just have one question. Is them people that eat that related to snakes - in that they can unhinge their jaw so they can open their mouth wide enough to get that in? That sucker looks like it's about 4 inches high. 3 Quote

Buckshot Bear Posted July 8, 2025 Author Posted July 8, 2025 1919, more South Australian troops returned home to Adelaide from World War I. As it was in other states, some had been away since they left for the Gallipoli campaign in October 1914. An Arch was erected near Adelaide Railway Station in January 1919 and stood until 1925. Returning troops marched under it and were welcome to buy cheering crowds. The Anzac Arch was built as a monument of appreciation to the men who fought in the First World War. It was funded by public subscription, with £1 000 raised. Unveiled in 1919 the Arch was planned as a temporary structure to be dismantled once all the returning troops had been welcomed home. Public attachment to the Arch saw it stand until 1925 when it was demolished on the grounds that it had become unsafe. Building of the Arch was marred by accident. On 11 November 1918 a passing horse-drawn trolley caught a guy rope during construction, dislodging scaffolding and toppling two workers from the structure to the ground, some 35 feet in distance, or just over 10 metres. The men who fell suffered broken bones, cuts and abrasions but appear to have recovered from the incident. Image: Men of the 3rd Light Horse Brigade returning to South Australia 2 4 Quote

And now and then, some of the less than capable manage to burn themselves doing that trick! I will say, on rare occasions, it has been colder here in Montana than I can recall in MN, hotter as well 103° late this afternoon. 2 Quote
