Hi! We're in Pittsburgh. Some people go to Florida for spring break... Us, not so much. Tomorrow, dinosaurs!

Yes. My first memory of going to a museum, when i was probably 5. I remember red velvet and dinosaurs. We stopped on the way in Washington and visited my great great grandparents in the cemetery.

Lots to do in Pittsburgh. If you want a taste of tropical you can go to the Phipps Conservatory!

I remember standing under the tail of the Artist-Formerly-Known-As-Brontosaur, staring up in awe through the ribcage and up towards the head.

Oh, and the Cathedral of Learning! Such a gorgeous Gothic building and vaulted great hall, in that big tower.

Yeah, heard the Fort Hood thin on NPR but they had very little in the way of deets.
Still, I feel like if you're going to be safe anywhere, a military base in your own country ought to be it. Unless your country is Ukraine. (Thoug I keep picturing Mexico trying to annex Arizona by dying "it used to be ours, and there's lots of Mexicans being treated badly there!")

Well, I didn't realize President Obama was in Chicago until I had to jump some police barriers downtown. Oopsy daisy. Took me a long time to get home.
