Museum of Idaho

This is an infrared image of Trish and me.  Note the big smiles.  Would it be untactful to point out that the taller person seems to have a considerably larger brain?  Probably.  Forget I mentioned it.


The Museum of Idaho in Idaho Falls has a good NASA exhibit and, of course, local history exhibits, both well done with lots of interactive displays for children.


Trish and I rode this cycle thingy, one of several devices used on the space station to work out, trying to counteract the negative physical impact of zero gravity.  You're strapped in so you don't float away, and as you pedal, it goes in circles like a centrifuge.  If you're prone to dizziness, better skip this one.





Above and below, a typical dry goods store/drugstore of about 100 years ago - about the size of an average bedroom.  It bears an uncanny resemblance to the stores I frequented in Egypt in the early 80s.  These pix were taken in the Idaho history exhibit portion of the Museum.
