19th century Love Letter
April 12th, 1847 My Dearest Love, As I sit here by candlelight, the flickering glow casts shadows on these words, but none so deep as the shadow that lingers in my heart in your absence. I cannot begin to express how much I miss you. The distance between us is unbearable, and every moment apart feels like an eternity. My heart aches for you, longing to bridge the miles that separate us, to feel the warmth of your embrace, to see the tenderness in your eyes once more.

Softer Mountains
Dearest Hank, What a commotion! If it weren’t for the fact that it’s your farm, and all I did was join you in wedded matrimony, I would resign the whole dad-blamed place and run away. As soon’s you left, my Pa saw them dollar signs a-swimmin in his head, and tried to take the farm for hisself. Tad, bless him, must be feeling all of fourteen years and reared up on his hind legs and roared at my father to git off the property. That’s our boy! But then turned around and musta been seeing them dollar signs hisself, ‘cause suddenly he wanted to plant the whole property in wheat! No hay for the cattle, no corn for the hogs, just wheat! And tried to take MY herb garden for his first field, and the rose bush you planted for me! I took the ax outta his hands and boxed his ears something fierce, telling him in no uncertain terms what would happen to his arms if he so much as laid a finger on what’s mine by right. Son or not of ours, Tad’s gotten a bit too big for his britches, and I’ll still give him a whuppin if he thinks to do it behind my back.

Archaeologists Discovered 22000 Year Old Tracks That May Be From the World’s First Vehicle.
Archaeologists Discovered 22000 Year Old Tracks That May Be From the World’s First Vehicle. The discovery of 22000 year old tracks at White Sands National Park in New Mexico has shed new light on early human innovation and transportation methods. These tracks as revealed in a recent study published in Quaternary Science Advances suggest that ancient humans used a rudimentary vehicle known as a travois to transport goods or belongings. This finding challenges conventional perspectives on early transportation pushing back the timeline of non wheel based vehicles much further than previously thought. At the heart of this discovery are the linear impressions found alongside human footprints. Unlike ordinary tracks left by people walking these marks suggest the dragging of wooden poles indicating the use of a travois. This is a simple yet effective means of carrying heavy loads by lashing two poles together often in the shape of a triangle and pulling them along the ground. Such a transport method was widely used by Indigenous peoples in North America well into recent history particularly among the Plains tribes who adapted it for use with horses. However, this new discovery suggests that its use dates back much further to a time when humans were still navigating the challenges of Ice Age survival.
