A word to the younger generation: Your grandmother wore very mini mini skirts, tall boots, and bell bottom jeans. She went to Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, Fleetwood Mac, and The Rolling Stones concerts. She drove a mini car, rode motorcycles, and fast scooters. She used to smoke and drink whiskey and gin & tonics. She would sneak in at 4 am and still make it to work the next day. So as cool as you think you are... you'll never be as cool as your grandma!! #grandparents #1960s

Early cars were naturally based on horse-drawn vehicles, but this design takes that philosophy further than most. The horses are here replaced by a 4-wheel tractor unit. This remarkable vehicle has now been identified as the landau of Grand Duke Alexis of Russia, drawn by a Heilmann electric tractor circa 1898.

If you're participating in a Christmas Bird Count this year, thank ornithologist Frank Chapman. In 1900, he established the tradition in hopes it would counteract the then-common practice of trying to hunt as many birds as possible on Christmas Day.🌲🐦🌲 American Museum of Natural History @AMNH #ChristmasBirdCount #birds
