An old wagon wheel suffers the ravages of time. Me too.

Through the wheel of life is seen
A lake of blue, a tree once green
Beauty that life does bestow
On all the creatures found below
The two legged, four legged, ones with eight
Legs that walk the land of fate
That fly the skies, climb mountains tall
That swim through water that did fall
Through the fingers of Gods sweet hand
To fill the rivers and feed the land
Covered in blues, browns and green
That through the wheel of life is seen
Most authorities regard the wheel as one of the oldest and most important inventions, which originated in ancient Mesopotamia in the 5th millennium BC (Ubaid period), originally in the function of potter's wheels. Near the northern side of the Caucasus several graves were found, in which since 3700 BC people had been buried on wagons or carts (both types). The earliest depiction of what may be a wheeled vehicle (here a wagon—four wheels, two axles), is on the Bronocice pot, a ca. 3500 BC clay pot excavated in southern Poland.

He's the extra wedges and tags for the wheel. Some of the wedges look off in color because the light hitting them makes them shimmer. On the underside of the ?$1000 is a Bankrupt and the $10000 is a ?$1000. There is also a gold $10000 under the Bankrupt/$10000/Bankrupt.

The Expo Wheel
A towering tradition of Peachtree Rides, the Expo Wheel dominates the midway day and night, offering patrons a sweeping view from a height of nearly 75 feet! Passengers are seated in separate gondolas and then whisked smoothly over the top and down again, reminiscent of a ferris wheel. The Expo Wheel is a pleasant ride for the entire family.
