Say,since you like Wheelers so much as I do,I have discovered there may be more to them than people think. Emerald City Mirror has a short story called The History of the Wheeler Country by David Valentin. Bad news is the link is broken,thus I cannot read it. Perhaps somebody else does. If there is,I hope you like it.

I got digging, I found this Oz timeline site...

there's also this...

The History of the Wheeler Country: Long ago in the Land of Ev lived the Rollers, ruled by King Roll. On the day of his troublesome son's birthday, Champ decided to find a gift for himself in Mysterious Mountain, where treasures are rumored to abound. Champ searches the underground caverns, unaware they are ruled by the Nome King. Champ is captured and sentenced to work in the mines. The king and queen follow their son's tracks into the mountain, where they too are captured and made slaves. The rest of the Rollers grow anxious and then dispirited when their beloved Royal Family doesn't return, and in time becomes surly and fearful, changing their name to Wheelers and avoiding the mountain.

Continuity Notes Dating: This story occurs some time after the Wheelers/Rollers were transformed into the present form they're in, an event that occurred when Lurline broke the Magic Egg over Ev in 1742, as shown in the story The Immortal Longings of Oz (forthcoming). This would take place some years later, as the Wheelers/Rollers have learned to accept their fate and become "happy and contented," which is some time prior to when Dorothy meets them, when they're "cold, mean and obnoxious." The further story of the Wheelers will be revealed in the forthcoming book The Immortal Longings of Oz.

if there are other links you're talking about, I can't find them. thanks for sharing this!

Pro-tip for painting with rollers: i'm a complete amateur but i needed to paint some cabinet doors with latex paint, leaving as smooth of a finish as possible. Prevailing wisdom suggested I use sponge rollers, but they were absolutely awful when it came to consistency and leaving uneven marks. So then i looked up "sponge rollers leaving marks" and the top results were "don't use sponge rollers, they're trash" so lol

anyways, what i ended up doing was going through a series of short nap (short fiber length) rollers until i finally gave in and bought the pricey rollers. however, in this case they were 100% worth it for the job they did. an actual example where money = quality

These 3/16" mohair rollers sold by Redtree are worth every penny. The website only sells them in bulk, but you can find them sold via other hardware stores or online. night and day difference between some synthetic weave and mohair. if the rest of their paint products are as good as these (they have longer nap rollers and brushes) i think all future house painting jobs are going to be using them
