@DamonZumbroegel 🙏 means a lot coming from you fellow arch enthusiast

[Peter Newson @newsonstone]

Very early stages of a drystone bridge. There are large boulders set into the bank that aren’t seen in this pic. These are what keep the arch together. A bit like grounding in electrical work, all dangerous forces at play must be directed into the earth.

@DamonZumbroegel @CultureExploreX Love the little details of those carts… very cool

[Peter Newson @newsonstone]

@wrathofgnon I think this is very true. Almost every problem we have now was faced in the past and methods were developed to deal with them. We don’t even realize the depth of what’s been lost and forgotten.

@TPNdustries @tuuu28283 The breakfast steak and
Egg at my small town Exxon is incredible. Like you said the whole town is there at about 7-8 am

@morgan88877 Did this once back in the day. I remember some really cool open eye visuals but overall milder experience than psilocybin or acid.

@MrOolala @sadreturns Me too, I remember loving it while everyone else started to hate it. Brunch village was no joke. Peak Portlandia yrs 2010-2020. Got sad after that

@JigokuCake Seth Rogan not wanting to have kids now makes up like 30% of internet content…who tf cares?!

@sovernTranch Animals have the added benefit of actually being real! I’m with you

[Peter Newson @newsonstone]

@youwillmakemaps They do follow you around if you have treats or give them scratches. These ones are very tame as donkeys go. They’ll take a halter but I still have to work on getting them saddle trained.

[Peter Newson @newsonstone]

A little morning walk with the donkeys. They’re a unique presence on the farm I like them more the more time I spend with them.

@davidsenra I think this is why so many artists are also narcissistic ego maniacs

[Peter Newson @newsonstone]

@pnwguerrilla Just lost an old coworker/friend to suicide recently. You could’ve saved a life right there well done.

@verritass Anyone that can remember before smartphones knows how to engage with boredom. They just choose not to. I think it illustrates more clearly than anything that we only have so much control. Phone addiction is nearly universal. The machines have figured out how to loop us all.

@MemoryMedieval The story of port royal the forgotten pirate city. Once was as big as London, truly sin city. Then was destroyed by earthquake and is still under water

[Peter Newson @newsonstone]

@socrypt I will wear shorts like sweats or pjs. Only in the privacy of my own home. Nobody needs to see men’s legs

[Peter Newson @newsonstone]

@thmoneycircle Don’t race to the bottom with construction. There are exceptions, but in general, there’s no such thing as a good deal.

[Peter Newson @newsonstone]

@contractorkeith 6 yrs in working for myself. Never been a sub. I don’t get the appeal, maybe it’s my specific niche but every time I’ve been offered it seems like a shitty deal.

[Peter Newson @newsonstone]

@MmisterNobody In the old system women would gather food and take care of the children while the men would spend all day everyday hunting with their bros. If you needed a house people would help you build it.

Then we violently fought to establish the system you described….comedy indeed

[Peter Newson @newsonstone]

@DamonZumbroegel anyone would be annoyed to see their neighborhoods change drastically in a few short years. People in Minnesota with Somalis, southerners now with all the yankee transplants, people in Detroit in the 60s……the Cherokee 250 yrs ago…. The list goes on…
