Friday...and another visit!

...We were so pleased to see no rain today!...and we drove to the "Big D' and visited the Book Repository where unfortunately JFK met his demise....The building is now privately owned and operated..with an admission charge required...You need pass thru a metal inspetion gate to enter and after passing thru the customary gift shop!..you take an elevator to the 6th floor where evidently Oswald was lurking...and you can look past the cardboard crates thru the open window down beyond the grassy knoll..and an X is painted on the street exactly where the Kennedy car was located when the dastardly act occurred....It is eerie...but, the total presentastion, including videos, news articles, and descriptive posters telling all the gruesome details are tactly presented...I subversively took a few pictures which you will subsequently see..All in all, it was a rewarding visit! When we left to return to the van..it was the end of the work-day...and beinfg Friday, the end of the work week....You never saw such traffic...It made oujr own I-95 look like a pasture!..but, we perservered and drove for about an hour to near Waco, Texas and bedded down..Incidentally, the terrain as soon as we reached the Texas border changed, becoming much rougher and coarse with fields of grain..and many cattle on pasture land with the soil being notably red in color...and the fields being dotted with Oil digging and pumping apparatus...Tomorrow we plan to be at Johnson's Museum..in Austin...and Sunday at his LBJ ranch and on Monday AM if I can arrange the ticketing we fly to LA for a few days to do Nixon and Reagan!...Then back to Austin for the trek home with Bush Sr, Museum in College Stationh, Texas..nex Hope and Little Rock, Arkansas..and a stop in Nashville!...I hope I can arrange the flight in the morning..until next time....keep well...
