A man shod with a pair of them would leave a trail resembling that of a cow.</p> <p>The shoe found was picked up near Port Tampa where a still was located some time ago. It will be sent to the prohibition department at Washington. Officers believe the inventor got his idea from a Sherlock Holmes story in which the villain shod his horse with shoes the imprint of which resembled those of a cow’s hoof.</p> </blockquote>http://blog.driko.org/post/23131513305http://blog.driko.org/post/23131513305Tue, 15 May 2012 19:37:44 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwj955ewhQ1qz4uzvo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://blog.driko.org/post/22844310506http://blog.driko.org/post/22844310506Fri, 11 May 2012 11:50:26 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3tpau11Xx1qzxaqho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://calmingmanatee.com/" target="_blank">Calming Manatee</a></p>http://blog.driko.org/post/22793683386http://blog.driko.org/post/22793683386Thu, 10 May 2012 16:09:06 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2eso6wpZG1qzamioo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2eso6wpZG1qzamioo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://ianbrooks.me/post/21021814697/stormbeaker-taken-at-emerald-city-comic-con-2012" target="_blank">ianbrooks</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em><strong>StormBeaker</strong></em> </p> <p>Taken at Emerald City Comic Con 2012 at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle.
