When oh when did dinosaurs stop being cool?
Smithsonian Castle.
Washington, DC, four weeks ago. I love the Castle at the Smithsonian. My wife bought me a really cool pin from there, too, which features the Castle.
Rocket man, now with suit!

At the Smithsonian this winter. I give you the rocket dude. He really caught my eye because his shoes were basically white Chuck Taylors with a side zipper. Even if these rocket packs caught on, at $4 a gallon, I think they’d all be grounded.

SR-71 engine.

The engine of an SR-71 at The Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum. I kept thinking of how insanely high-tech that plane looked and the fact that it is an obsolete technology now.

I will also be far from home today. My paternal grandfather is back in the hospital, and my maternal grandmother fell yesterday and is staying at my parents’ house, where I am headed today to help out. I get to teach a ditty tonight on bike types and the basics of bike parts, which is fun and a useful means to not think about things too much.
