As an American, it boggles my mind that I can go see the set of Teletubbies but also go to London on my way to Stonehenge without adding a bunch of hours to the drive. This is 4 hrs but a direct route to Stonehenge from Teletubbie set is only 2 hrs?!

Im so used to 12hr+ drives to do cool stuff!

The Somethings - Chapter 1 Part 1

Original Objecthead Story

By Mr.Hatman

In the middle of the desert, on top of a hoodoo, was a sandstone pedestal that proudly held the secluded city of the Frontier. The civilians were a city of Things, but a not so modest group of them that enjoyed being useful as much as possible. There were other groups of Things on the neighboring mesa, sure, but the Things of the Frontier were far more advanced. So that made them more interesting and important. The Things of the Frontier say their success comes from two main factors: 

- They traded with outsiders but never ever let any in! 

Which meant:

- Their simple social scale! You’re either Nothing or you’re Something! If you were broken and useless, you were considered a Nothing. If you were the best in your job field, you’d become Something! 

 Technically there were a myriad of other subclasses but being Something was all the rage. Everything in the Frontier looked up to the Somethings and wanted to be a Something. Why wouldn’t you want to be the best? Respect? Glamour? The best pick of the fancy houses? Isn’t your whole life meant to revolve around accomplishment?

Recently, however, the Citizens weren’t so sure anymore. One of their Somethings had gone missing! The Frontier was secluded and they were important! How could they just vanish? If a Thing as important as a Something could go missing with no notice, what could happen to them as a lesser Thing?

“Never in the history of the Frontier has everything come together like this before!” rang the radio host’s voice throughout the Frontier. He would’ve been pleased to hear himself through all the open windows and doors. All on his channel. “I, Quincy the Something of Broadcasting, - who is always on your side- is at your service to tell you the latest about the missing case we call the ‘Derby Disappearance’ about that new hire- Derby H. Bowler! It seems, once again, that I have no news for you! Our leader, Frederick Fedora, ain’t said peep and let me tell you, this is getting rough for everything here in the Frontier!”

No news today once more. Things of all classes were gathered around the fountain in the courtyard of the Somethings headquarters. It was a grand, giant building in the center of town that was surrounded by the finest sandstone on the pedestal. It was ornately carved with the history of the Frontier and metal plates signed with previous leaders, Somethings, and other outstanding Things of Frontier history.

Things that were broken, Things that were elaborately decorated, Things that were still dirty from work - They were all here. All except the Somethings and their Leader who holed himself away.

A higher class Thing who was the shape of a broom, twirled their fancy parasol and sniffed judgmentally. “Hmf! If a Something goes missing does their leader make a sound? I think not.” scoffed Broomington. “I mean really? What’s the point of going through all that work if you’re not guaranteed security!”

“That’s because our hero, Frederick Fedora, is a joke! Who'da thunk that old relic of a hero would cower now?” said the Strangely Strong Spork. He flexed his biceps in anger.

“It’s because Derby was a Nothing!” spat Hammy the Hammer. “REMEMBER. Those nepotistic wash rags wanted only their friends apart of their little group-”

“I take offense to that.” said Washragginton. 

She continued. “Now they’re gone! POOF! It’s no coincidence. The higher ups don’t want anything lower than them to be Something.” 

“Whaddya mean? They were another one of Frederick’s ‘heroic and charitable’ ideas to make the Frontier a ‘better’ place!” said the Strangely Strong Spork. His triceps shivered down to his quads. “We didn’t want that Raptor or that criminal Farthing! He’s trying to change up our whole system!”

“He even let them work for the Somethings, despite our protests.” huffed Broomington. “Is Frederick even listening to us?!”

WHAT ARE RAPTORS?

Raptors are the most numerous species, far outnumbering the Things. The Things of the Frontier do not welcome the Raptors. What they have in mind is vicious and scary monster who is simply a predator.

However, in the rest of the world, the reality is much different. Things and Raptors get along just fine.

While Things live primarily on the Grand Mesa, Raptors live all over and come in all sorts of species. They can be taller than an average human or as tall as a Labador.

Ok, but what are Raptors?

They're not velociraptors or dinosaurs, yet they are? They're closer to birds with a carnivorous appetite. Even closer than dinosaurs. Or exactly like dinosaurs? We will say 'dinosaur inspired' before the dino nerds ravage me.

As previously mentioned, they can come in many species. All with different behaviors, attributes, skills that aid them in their environment. Collectively they all have dewclaws, feathers and sharp teeth.

Fun Facts

- Only one Raptor has ever made it into the Frontier. That is Caesar Swift, who was brought in by Fredrick Fedora to work for the Somethings.

The contiguous United States just lost its last wild caribou

The last caribou known to inhabit the contiguous United States has been removed from the wild. This week, a team of biologists working for the Canadian province of British Columbia captured the caribou—a female—in the Selkirk Mountains just north of the U.S.-Canada border. They then moved it to a captive rearing pen near Revelstoke as part of a controversial, last-ditch effort to preserve highly endangered herds. The female caribou is believed to be the last member of the last herd to regularly cross into the lower 48 states from Canada.

The 14 January capture of the caribou was “like losing a piece of the tribe in some way,” says Bart George, a wildlife biologist for the Kalispel tribe in Usk, Washington. It is one of two indigenous nations in the United States that have been pushing governments to maintain the cross-border caribou herd and protect its habitat.  

In about a month, the British Columbia biologists plan to release the caribou—along with two other animals from another endangered herd—back into the wild, into a larger and more stable Canadian herd. The ultimate fate of these animals, however, is unclear. They are mountain caribou, a distinct ecotype of caribou found only in a forested swath of northwestern North America, which have become endangered because of habitat loss and other factors. Conservation efforts have failed to reverse population declines or prevent the complete extirpation of some herds at the southern end of the mountain caribou’s range, where they inhabit inland temperate rainforests. And biologists can’t say whether any caribou will again inhabit the contiguous United States. (There are herds of other types of caribou in Alaska.)

…

Conservationists also fear removing caribou from the wild will ultimately lead to the lifting of protections for its habitat, especially if the animals never return. Both British Columbia and the United States have identified and protected large areas of “core habitat” for mountain caribou. But adjacent lands, especially in British Columbia, have continued to be heavily logged, contributing to caribou declines.

…

Provincial officials say they have no current plans to remove caribou habitat protections for the southern herds. But, “It’s hard to believe that,” says Candace Batycki, a program director at the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative in Nelson, Canada. That’s because the province has lifted protections in the past after other caribou herds became extirpated and officials deemed it impossible to restore them.

WHAT ARE THINGS?

You maybe inclined to call them objectheads but they call themselves 'Things'. They're animate objects! The origin of the term is unknown and many meanings have applied to it. However, it always refer to the people known as 'Things'.

Ok, but what are Things?

They can be any object from our world. They tend to be items from the same time period or older. Rarely, they are raw food items, i.e., Douglas Coir.

Grammar

Things do not refer to imanimate objects as 'Things'. Things refer to themselves with the term since they're sentient. Objects are referred to as 'stuff, it, item, etc.' Terms like "Something", "Nothing", and "Anything".

The terms below and primarily used in the Frontier and not used on the Mesa. Still, they stand as examples of how terms with 'thing' carry weight in their world.

Something - a very important Thing in the Frontier. The Somethings are their own organization.

Nothing - a Thing who is of no status, broken or generally disliked

Farthing - a Thing who travels or lives far from the Frontier, outsiders on the Mesa don't use this term for themselves. The term is a bit convulded in modern times since now it can also mean nothing or an outlaw who is a Thing.

Fun facts:

- They primarily live on the Grand Mesa in a city called the Frontier

- They don't really have a concept of genders, but think pronouns are dandy

- They take great care of their possessions and would rather fix it than toss it
