Miss Nathalie Rogers, aka Nattie, is a telegraph operator in the 1870s. She is nineteen and lives in a boarding hotel, having left her family so that they won't have to support her. She is independent, smart, and aspires to be a writer someday, once she finds the time. One day, at work, another telegraph operator some sixty miles away begins to chat with her through Morse code. After a few unfortunate events, they begin telling stories, laughing ("the circumstance being conveyed to her understanding in the usual way, by the two letters 'H a!'"), and keeping each other company until suddenly things take a most puzzling and mysterious turn. This is the type of story in the "Shop Around the Corner" and "You've Got Mail" genre, although this one pre-dates both. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Australian insulators from communications lines. There are several different kinds that look the same at a glance, but they are very different. This shows some of the many kinds of Australian insulator. There are pottery, porcelain, glass and even Bakelite insulators, and they come in many colours, makers and ages. Most Australian insulators date from about 1870 all the way to the 1990s. If you have a question about any of the insulators, fell free to ask it.

WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).
