So, thoughts, on thoughts.
I started the day after a long night of pontificating while out revisiting the monuments at night. It was cathartic, and a much easier hike in light clothing and without the sun beating down on my head. I went through a lot less water, that’s for sure.
This morning was finishing up my time in the African American History Museum. That’s a heavy one to visit. Mostly because of the bloody violent history that is so cautiously presented through the beauty of art. I have to admit though, there was a lot of thinking involved. And when looking at the pieces of finely crafted gold, with the minuscule wiring and presentation that I became very aware of the limitations of my fat old hams.

Sure, I might be able to get some of that dexterity, but age and abuse to these poor little digits will not reach that level of skill. That said, it further proves my point in that the “savage” cultures taught the more “civilized” cultures far more than most would care to admit.
But, after that it was trying to clear my head, which is why I’m back at the Air and Space museum. It’s a beautiful place, to my brain that likes to tear things apart at any rate. Though I’m very disappointed that most of the exhibits are closed. It seems that it was that way the last time I was here as well. But hey, working with limited resources and knowledge alongside people with far more of both is kind of a specialty of mine.
