A great weekend. It was clear on Saturday, but a bit cold and windy. Tina and I visited the American Museum of Science and Industry. That was so fascinating. I learned a whole lot, including why they laid the refrigerator down when they moved Dottie’s trailer from the trailer park to the property. They no longer use Freon. Instead they use magnetic s of some sort. there was so much information in there that I will need to go back several times just to begin to absorb a lot of it. They told about the 3 D printer that made the body of a jeep.
I guess most important was all the information concerning the bomb and world war II. It showed the buildings that the scientists worked in as well as other employees. One of the buildings was so long and big that people used bicycles to get from one end of it to the other. The people who worked for Y-2K and the Manhattan project didn’t know what they were working on. Each area had a part and that is all they knew. They didn’t know they were building the atom bomb. All tied in with the test site in Nevada, and what part Nevada played in the bomb. Also Manhattan, in New York, built a part of the bomb. So interesting. We bought a book so will have to do a lot of reading.
They have a great gift shop with interesting games, books, and great stocking suffers. We will go back there before Christmas and do a bit of shopping. We will probably go back and see more of the museum. We were there for over two hours and still didn’t see it all.
Jerry, Tammy, and Dottie came for dinner Saturday evening so that was fun. Tina had put Chili in the crock pot before we left. I made corn bread after we got home. It turned out good. Jerry said that he watches the show Yellowstone and on that show it said that in Texas they don’t put beans in chili. If beans are added it is called stew. We had their version of stew.
Must get dinner going.
Quote of the day: “Epitaph over a dentist’s grave: He is filling his last cavity.”
Have a great rest of your Monday. Make it a productive, positive, pleasant, peaceful and fun day.
