Being organized

How I envy this neat and tidy workshop. This is from a visit to the Museum of Flight - Restoration Center.
This Center is affiliated with the Seattle area Museum of Flight. In the Everett Center volunteers restore old airplanes. It was fascinating watching them work on these old and beloved airplanes.  We were especially drawn to an example of the first jet used for commercial travel that was being restored.  Loving hands were evident.

Even more Idaho

What could be more fun than finding the fossilized footprint of a camel from about 60,000 years ago on the sand shore of a reservoir in Idaho?  We were led by a bona fide paleontologist so I am not making this up.   When your looking for something and find a perfect specimen it is indeed a thing of beauty - heading towards the sublime.
