ALMANACK OUTPOST HAS MOVED
The InHeritage Almanack “Outpost” has moved to > inheritage.org/almanack … We appreciate all the Tumblr love over the years, and do hope you’ll continue to tune in to our outpost of history, travel photography, verse, musings, and other scraps of substance. Cheers!
Burgess Meredith on the post-nuclear set of “Time Enough to Last” (1959)
“The best laid plans of mice and men and Henry Bemis, the small man in the glasses who wanted nothing but time. Henry Bemis, now just a part of a smashed landscape, just a piece of the rubble, just a fragment of what man has deeded to himself. Mr. Henry Bemis, in the Twilight Zone.”
-Rod Serling, “Time Enough to Last”, The Twilight Zone

“Mr. President, I’m not saying we wouldn’t get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops.”

“The road gods beckoned.” Thus the poet Matsuo Basho set off in 1689 into Japan’s backcountry. His journal, Narrow Road to a Far Province, described a path, still visible on Natagiri Pass, that devotees have followed ever since.
Big Basho fans, here @ InHeritage. Thanks NatGeo!
tumblrbot asked: WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?
Very clear: a deer in the early dawn while at a cabin in Adirondacks, NY, 3 yrs old. Now my earliest ‘alien’ memory? Well, that’s a little less clear … ;)
Stay on track and listen to “Wreck of the Old 97” from 900 Miles and other R.R. Songs in memory of the wreck of the train in 1903.
For a daily dose of photography that will make you want to drop everything, grab a rucksack, and travel the world, here’s the blog to follow …
