These are called Stock Tanks, or just Tanks, in Texas.

For when the cows get thirsty.

 

These are stock tanks (troughs) in Oz

We saw something similar on a whale watch off the tip of Cape Cod. They called it a Sun something or other. Pretty neat.

I wonder if it would confuse Aussies if they heard us talking about crawdads?

[Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001]

  I figure it would be a tad better , IF the gator / croc was dead , before trying to fry it 

 

  but maybe , I is missing something

Yep pretty much just Spam.

Imagine a D-8 Cat attempting that. Saw it as a kid. D-8 drove out onto an old pond that had been dry for years and when it broke through the crust it became stuck in place sitting on the belly pan.

School bus passed by it every day.  

 

Took them almost 2 weeks to dig it out with a little D-4. D-4 started on the edge and took little bites of the mud always staying on the hard pan underneath the mud.  Once they had all the mud removed and the big cat was on semi solid ground they spent another week with a jackhammer and pressure washer getting the dried mud out of the tracks so that it could move again.

Ellie's Uncle back in the day as a blaster, would get calls to get dozers out of the mud. Usually stuck due to suction; he would put dynamite under the belly and break the suction! Musta been a ball

All of those European countries fit inside the continent that is Australia.

 

But all those European countries fit inside the continent that is Europe. So what?

All those countries are fitting inside ONE country. 

[Alpo]

And the country of Australia - 2,900,000 square miles - will easily fit inside the country of the United States - 3,700,000 square miles.

 

Big whoop.
