Apologies to JPB and RH " it’s taken me a few light years to get around to posting this! I was on a different planet for a while…

And one more time…. Here’s our Kansas Moon " for Noddy. What a beautiful night it was.

Hey Iz,I know I asked for photos but this time you've done yourself proud.That looks like the kind of playground I could get lost in for hours

It was a great find in the middle of nowhere. Who knew? RH thought this would be interesting for S_ . He also suggested the zoo and left it up to the three of us to decide. We figured there are zoos everywhere but space museums are far and few between and decided to spend the afternoon in Hutchinson. We shoulda spent the entire day. The small city of Hutchison, KS should be a destination for everyone interested in science, space exploration, or just a great place to spend a day.

Thanks for the pics, Izzie, and mucho thanks to RH for putting up with us... er, I mean, putting us up for the weekend. 'Twas a pleasure and a joy!
