This is "Goldie". She taught us line dancing while we were at the Dude Ranch. We learned the "South Side Shuffle" and the "Cowboy Boogie" among others.
It rained ALL DAY yesterday. I was to have golfed with John C. at his company outing, but they cancelled, and rightly so, it would not have been fun. They'll reschedule. So, instead, Dee and I went to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. We had a nice lunch in the cafe and then learned all we could about dinosaurs.
They now have a simulated elevator ride into the depths of the earth. The elevator has a TV screen inside. A guy on the screen gives you a tour of what's a various depths below Pittsburgh. We went to 16,000 feet below the surface. Fascinating stuff about how coal is formed etc. I enjoyed it. Also, the dinosaur area is set up according to the three Ages when dinosaurs roamed the earth. So you got to see what kinds roamed when. They have touch screens in front of each exhibit so that you can read about the various animals depicted. Also the info tells you if the bones are "real" or "recast". Other info about the animals' habits, vegetation, when the bones were discovered etc. was also there.
We had fun walking and reading, looking and wondering.
Then, we stopped in the strip district for a cup of coffee on the way home. Our favorite place was closed at 4 PM, so we walked and found another place. Their coffee was OK and we looked at their "cold brew" kits. We ended up buying a pound of the Je-Ju coffee bean blend. At home we tried it and it was superb.
We drove home in heavy rain at the height of rush hour traffic, and still it wasn't bad at all. I seldom find myself in rush hour traffic anymore, so I can tolerate it better now when it does happen.
