Magic man done it.

Well, truth be told, I didn't have any plans to visit Kentucky, but it just backed up behind Kansas and Mississippi in the "last states to visit--shortly after I die, maybe" competition. Hoo doggy! We're so proud of our dogmatic ignorance that we erected a museum to it!
Also, my 3:00 alarm just went off, and my camera is at home somewhere.

Sure they haven't changed most of the exhibits in 30 years and the bee colony keeps dying, but the state has some great limestone beds with all sorts of extinct critters in them and the museum takes full advantage. Plus, where else can you see the bedraggled and stuffed pelt of Commanche (http://nhm.ku.edu/Hdocs/Comanche.html), the only survivor of Custer's escapades at the Little Bighorn? It's a classic of this type of museum: small, cramped, dusty, staffed by eager advocates of evolution and the environment, full of neat things, and more than a little weird. I try to always spend a lot of money in the gift shop on the way out.
