October 12, 2010 – DC day 2 – Rolling Shoe Box | Rolling Shoe Box
The Washington Monument at sunrise, really quite stunning and what a walk! We walked from the white house to the Washington Monument, the WW2 Memorial, Lincoln Monument, to the American History Museum, and The Natural History Museum. I was so tired that I amused the Security guard who asked me where I was when I entered the elevator and I told him the “American History Museum”. We had just left the mineral exhibit in the “Natural History Museum” the laps in memory, must have been my feminine side coming out. (Speaking of coming out, it is now legal to be openly gay in the Military, the Don’t ask Don’t tell policy banned until further notice.) I guess it could be useful to know who is gay if your in the military, one would know who to or who not to shower with! Oh, yeah we are touring Washington DC. Since the tour company we are using is useless for everything except the courtesy shuttle to and from our campground, we walked between the monuments to save time, and we saw more of the National Mall than we would from the bus, but we are physically and mentally exhausted. Tomorrow will be better as the temperatures will drop from the 90′s to the low 70′s.
While in the museums we learned that the universe and our world did actually materialize from nothing! Well almost nothing but heat, cooling, neutrons, protons and electrons that formed different elements as their temperatures changed. The neutron cooled and got very close to an electron created hydrogen that burned creating oxygen resulting in a star. The star exploded, the explosion created water which became rain and stuff until we got an earth, ocean, and atmosphere. Some time later life came and then there were fish, then lobster like critters crawled out of the ocean and evolved to animals which became dinosaurs that laid eggs that hatched into Chickens. (Now we know what came first, the chicken or the egg.) I should have taken a picture of this nonsense, I hope the creation museum can do better in explaining the origin of the species. The intellectuals in government can’t do it no matter how the try. I am still not convinced, even after two days of studying the earth and the cosmos at the Smithsonian.
Good evening and good night
