Yesterday I visited the MN History Museum. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. There were 6 major exhibits in all. One included a simulated grain elevator complete with many levels and tunnels. The purpose for the expedition was to explore the "Greatest Generation" exhibit featuring war experiences of the pre-baby boom generation. The exhibit did a great job of summing up life in war times.
I learned something valuable. Butter turns white after 7 years. In the MN150 exhibit the butter head of the Princess Kay of the Milky Way from the year (2003) I was a dairy princess and competed for the title was on display. It didn't look so good, I'm glad it's in the museum because I wouldn't want to eat it any more.
I will definitely have to go back soon. We road a bus sponsored by the public library. It was a great trip, but much too short. We breezed through most of the exhibits, only 3 minutes to see 100 years of history in a house, and didn't even get to look around in the gift shop.
I don't think much about history or take advantage of the information that is available to me. I need to get out more, visit more museums, and take advantage of all there is to see, do and experience.

Comments
I don't feel like my brain works as well lately as it has at other times so far in my life. I have to admit, I have always thought of myself as having reasonable intelligence. I don't think that any more. Many things have contributed to this conclusion. I had just had a bad moment--see the next paragraph.
I just now discovered that people have commented on my blog posts. The first comment came in July of 2009. I guess I'll have to check the "Comments" tab more often.
Now on to a problem: I've recently discovered that several (4 of who I am aware) people are reading this blog. I started the blogging thing to work on my creative writing and to motivate myself to so some form of journaling. Neither has happened. So, now I am trying to conceptualize what my blog content with be. I like structure and I like to meet deadlines, reach goals, etc. One thing I do not like to do is set goals. Actually, setting the goal is not the problem. Sticking to it is where I get in trouble. I only set little goals and then I don't bother achieving them because something else of a higher priority comes up. Therefore, on top of an excuse to do the simple action of writing and have some form of journal, this blog may also become a goal achieving development tool.
That sounded complicated; now my brain is tired.
Time for bed.
