Gregory's ServerThe Great Squid People used to ride the gleaming white chalk roads in great glass globes of water pulled by teams of clattering crabs.
But then the deers took over, a Dark Age came when the roads were covered with grass.

   @futurebird I love that early deer recognized the need for road trip snacks and found an elegant solution.  @misterscience @futurebird @futurebird But then the deers took over, a Dark Age came when the roads were covered with grass. @futurebird just be careful of the section of the A303 where they took the slice, as there's now a dirty great pothole.  "The A303 highway that passes only 165 meters (541 feet) from the south side of Stonehenge...     Have driven along the A303 many times. It's nice to see its history.    @futurebird This.is.great! Thank you for sharing & - way more - thank you for commenting it! Matching song: We did’ em our ways. @futurebird wait, they still build modern roads without digging everything away and then refilling it with consistent gravel? :o @Stoori @futurebird in UK, they have archaeologists waiting for the moment any construction project hits pay dirt cause it happens a lot. some roads are actually this ancient. @futurebird The deer sadly perished when a great bronze arrow was shot backward through time so that the age of Man may begin.  @futurebird about five years ago I was stuck in a traffic jam on a section of the A303 - it's famous for summer traffic jams - with deep, thick woodland either side of the road. I glanced left and was surprised to see a small herd of wild deer, stags with impressive antlers, sitting down in the forest as close to the edge of it they could be, relaxing in the summer afternoon heat and lazily watching the slowly-crawling traffic Very picturesque stretch! About 30 years ago I found a dead kestrel by the side of the A303 and took it home.  |
@futurebird so it is written in the ancient murals.
