We got up to 88 degrees, and other than that it was nice. And then, about an hour ago, the wind burst alive and now it’s nasty. Lightning in the east, but not sure where it’s going. With this kind of wind and all the tornadoes around the midsection of the US yesterday and today, I hope the really bad stuff stays well away.
I’m glad you had some nice guests to enjoy and to show what y’all have to offer in the away of military history. I’ll bet they learned a lot from you!
The lightning you see is the southern end of the storm system that’s wreaking havoc tonight. Fortunately for you, it’s moving slowly east. I’ve had Ryan Hall up since I got to sit down this evening and it’s been a rough day and night AGAIN from TX on up. :-(
The young man from Taiwan is here to go to school at the university a couple of miles from the museum. Apparently in history, they’re studying the War of 1812 and someone told him about the museum. He was surprised to find out that there are military museums in the US because he said they don’t bother to preserve military history in Taiwan or other Asian countries. He was very interested today and said he’ll come back again. My guess is he’ll come alone next time because his daughters are very young and really weren’t enjoying themselves.
A fella who’s been there a few times showed up today simply to buy two more museum t-shirts - - he lives 100 miles away! LOL He was wearing the shirt he’d bought for himself last time he visited. The two he bought today are for his grandsons.
Our first visitor was a fella who left Indiana EARLY this morning to drive down to check us out. He’s a military historian and author and found us on the internet, and decided to come down to see what we have.
