Cyril and Louis Keller will be officially inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in October. The brothers operated a machine shop in Minnesota and invented the world’s first compact loader. The world later came to know this as the Bobcat skid-steer loader. Melroe Manufacturing, which became Bobcat, heard about the loader and asked the Kellers to introduce it at the 1958 Minnesota State Fair. These machines replaced the pitchfork and wheelbarrow and made farm labor much easier. I have always been fascinated with skid steer loaders. 2023-02-10 11:00 PM

Snow People Do you remember going out and making snow people or snow angels in the snow? Well, if this is new or if you have forgotten, this is the way you do it: After a snowfall, dress very warmly and go outside. Lie down on your back in the snow and swing your legs and arms back and forth in the snow. 2023-01-27 04:00 AM
