          How many goat power equals one horsepower? Great photo, Dave.

            Apparently goat wagons and carts, bought or homemade, were popular at one time. My dad encouraged me, at the age of 6 or 7, to buy 2 young goats. I think they cost 50 cents each. He had visions of my brother and I having a goat wagon, but we never got a wagon built or harness made. He worked 6 days a week and really did not have time. I did learn that there is nothing friendlier than a friendly goat.

                Could not find a goatpower to horsepower conversion. But I did find that in general, a goat can pull (in a cart, etc) up to 1-1/2 times its own weight. Supposedly a horse can pull 1-1/2 to 2 times its own weight. Take all of this with a grain of salt, however. Type of horse or goat, attitude of the animal, type of wagon, heat, humidity, altitude, etc, etc all impact how much an animal can pull.

                Of course, with its superior design, advanced aerodynamics, and low rolling resistance, a horse or goat could probably pull a lot more in a STUDEBAKER wagon, right?

                        Not a vintage photo, nor "Roadside USA?" But, N. America (Canada) A vintage car, happy as a Lark!


                        Playing on the internet this morning, and ran across this photo...Does it belong to anyone here on the forum?

                                The Waco Tornado of May 11, 1953: A Selection of Images from After and Before the Storm
                                https://www.flickr.com/photos/texascollectionbaylor/albums/72157633288188565
                                Below is a partial quote from the Texas Historical Marker of The Waco Tornado, located on 5th and Austin Avenue, Waco, Texas: "One of the most disastrous tornadoes in Texas history swept through downtown Waco on the afternoon of May 11, 1953, killing 114 people, destroying 346 buildings and creating property damage in excess of $50 million....Aid to the city came in the form of volunteer and military rescue forces and donations totaling over $9 million. The rescue and restoration efforts that followed reflected Waco's strong sense of pride and community spirit." This group of pictures includes scenes captured by the Army Air Force Photography Division, R.T. Dietrich, Whayne H. Farmer, Fred Gildersleeve, Dr. Hannibal "Joe" Jaworski, Fred Marlar, Hiram Blaine Sherrill, Randall W. Todd, Jimmie Willis, and unknown photographers. We share these images in remembrance of the 114 souls that perished on May 11, 1953, and to all of those affected by this devastating storm. Additionally, we hope to give today's audience a better visual understanding of the way that the tornado transformed the fabric and identity of Waco's downtown and central business district. Not only did Waco citizens suffer from a massive loss of lives and casualties, the city that they called home was forever altered and the downtown area would never fully recover to its pre-May 11, 1953, splendor.
