^ great way to travel!

^ Depends, if they're allowed to stumble...

Those baskets are called Doko in Nepal and are still the primary transportation kit for solo males who make their money by hodding almost anything up the roadless mountain valleys. On one trek i came across an old bloke stopped at a chautara (stone built stops along the trail where there are ledges to rest their Dokos on). I asked him if i could try his Doko to see if i could lift it. To get yourself going you fit the straps round your forehead and hands behind you holding the bottom of the Doko then kind of squat lift it up leaning forward. The bloke was 67 yo and his pack was 95Kg which fooking near broke my neck and made his day.

^^ 55 that would be comical

Not exactly a portrait as you can't see his face.



but if you could, I bet he'd have big eyes.

Loew's Grand Theater on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia was selected by the studio as the site for the Friday, December 15, 1939 premiere of Gone with the Wind. Studio head David O. Selznick asked that McDaniel be permitted to attend, but MGM advised him not to, because of Georgia's segregation laws. Clark Gable threatened to boycott the Atlanta premiere unless McDaniel were allowed to attend, but McDaniel convinced him to attend anyway.[16]

Most of Atlanta's 300,000 citizens crowded the route of the seven-mile (11 km) motorcade that carried the film's other stars and executives from the airport to the Georgian Terrace Hotel, where they stayed.[17][18] While Jim Crow laws kept McDaniel from the Atlanta premiere, she did attend the film's Hollywood debut on December 28, 1939. Upon Selznick's insistence, her picture was also featured prominently in the program.[19]
