There were several types of mammoth, all members of the elephant family. Most widespread was the Woolly Mammoths, which ranged across all northern continents and grew a very long, thick, hairy coat to keep out the bitter cold of the recent Ice Ages.
The woolly mammoth was roughly the same size as modern African elephant. Males reached shoulder heights between 2.7 and 3.4 m (9 and 11 ft) and weighed up to 6 tonnes (6.6 short tons). Females averaged 2.6–2.9 metres (8.5–9.5 ft) in height and weighed up to 4 tonnes (4.4 short tons). A newborn calf weighed about 90 kilograms (200 lb).
The teeth of a mammoth consist of a series of plates composed of enamel surrounding a dentine core. These are held together in a matrix of dental cement.
Each tooth erupted from the back of the jaw and slowly moved forward as it wore, to be replaced by another tooth from behind. The thickness and number of tooth plates are important identification criteria.

Drill in centre.
Looks good, till you zero in on the centre. Notice the Black Points.
I concentrated on sanding two opposite segments thinking it would not be noticed. I should have sanded them all evenly. Doh!
With the narrowest diameter this wheel will be seen at (11mm), the stripes are going be noticeably uneven. the white stripes will be uniform at 1mm, the black stripes will vary from 1.5mm to 2mm, I'm Guessing.
Accuracy is a fine art.
I forgot to take a purposeful picture on Tuesday so you get this photo I took of my laptop screen to send to my friend Keith (aka Max in the photo). I was using the segment analysis feature in the web version of Strava to try figure out how Strava glitched and showed Keith a minute and 40 seconds ahead of me at the end of the 11+ minute trail section when in reality I was only 20 seconds behind him. The answer was at the starting hill where a technology glitch that I can’t figure out has him 1:20 ahead of me after just 180m of trail when I was in reality right on his back wheel the entire time. Even more odd, there’s another segment that includes that same part of the trail and it recorded correctly. Gremlins!
This little guy has over 160 legs.
2 pairs of legs per body segment.
It is a millipede, a rather skinny, small and long (in relation to it's body).
This is a bizzare one, I have never seen this.
This might be a new species.
Name: Myriapoda > Diplopoda Sp.
Size: At least 27mm
Area Found: Forest of Bukit Gemuk, Tawau, Sabah, Malaysia.

Day 1 Spring Creek Pass to near Yurt
After a couple of days of acclimating and doing some dayhikes to finish Segment 11, I resumed hiking where I left off in 2018 at Segment 22.
Segment 22 begins at Spring Creek Pass just off of US149. Lake City (17 miles) and Creede (33 miles) can be accessed from here from different directions. The plan this year was to hike from Spring Creek Pass to Molas Pass, approximately 53 miles, much of which is above treeline. A doable distance. However, I did not use a shuttle. Instead, I parked at each trailhead and planned to loop back to my car, via dirt roads and other trails. This added some logistics but seemed easier than using a shuttle and just hiking back to my car. Hiking was 53 miles between the passes but driving was 165 miles and would have been a very long day not to mention the cost of a shuttle.
I spent the night at the Gunnison KOA and then drove to the trailhead. I started hiking around noon. The first 100 feet were the most difficult. I was out of breath quickly but that didn't last long since the trail follows an old road. There were many mud puddles to dodge.
As usual, the trail eventually left the jeep road and began to follow a single track and some rock cairns up and over Jarosa Mesa. It was not difficult to traverse but was exposed. Clouds were threatening everywhere. I did have some hail for a few moments but fortunately it did not last long.

The Volvo V40 is a small family car (C-segment in Europe) manufactured and marketed by Volvo Cars from 2012 to 2019.
The V40 was designed by American Chris Benjamin, the interior is the work of Pontus Fontaeus, and was the last Volvo to be designed under Steve Mattin, before he departed the company. It is built on the Global C platform with modifications to the electric power steering, and revised spring and damper settings.
The engine lineup at launch are: two petrol engines; a 1.6 litre EcoBoost I4 producing either 150 or 180 hp, dependent on specification, and a 2.5 litre Volvo B525 I5 producing 254 hp, and two diesel engines; a 1.6 litre PSA Peugeot Citroën / Ford Duratorq engine, which produces 115 hp, whilst only emitting 94 g/km of CO2, and a 2.0 litre I5 Volvo diesel engine available in two versions, 150 hp and 177 hp.In some countries, the V40 T5 uses a 2.0 litre I5 (B5204T9) producing 213 hp @ 6000 rpm and 300 Nm from 2,700 to 5,000 rpm.
From the model year of 2014, Volvo has begun fitting its in-house developed Drive E (VEA) diesel and petrol engines to the V40.
There was no direct replacement for the Volvo V40, the company transitioning many of their mainstream products to Crossover formats.
Patrick & Jennifer - Chickamauga Creek - North Chickamauga Trail Segment of the Cumberland Trail - February 16, 2013
There are between 1.5 and 2 million images uploaded here to Flickr every day. Then there is Instagram, 500px, and Imgur to name but a few more sites hosting pictures. And there are many other places to view the photogrpahs taken in their millions every day.
I'm sure that I am not the only one who has wondered what, if any, significance my pictures have in the great scheme of photographic life, and felt at times that there is nothing new in photography, and that I am doing no more than reinventing the wheel with my own efforts.. Despite that, I have striven to try and produce at least a few original images for my Photostream, and spent many hours trying to think up new and original ideas.
The idea behind this image is to take a fairly ordinary scene, but just focus on a segment of it, not in the way of a close up or macro, but showing a larger view of that scene.
Thinking about it, a photograph is simply a segment of time, captured in an image, and I wondered if it would further enhance a photo by segmenting the space, as well as the time aspect.
So this image, and the others like it are the results of putting the idea into practice. And I am pleased enough with the results of this experiment to look out for more images like these. Perhaps it may even turn into a project. Of course, It is not a totally unique way of presenting an image, but it is the doing of it intentionally, that I have not seen before.
The first cut using the sled. This station is used to cut each of the 4 background squares into triangles. Each triangular segment is a 90/45/45 triangle.
