The Great Scanning Project

A long ambit today, over to Highway 169 to Crystal, pick up the subwoofer, all fixed now, then thru Crystal and into Robbinsdale on Hennepin 9.  These are both older burbs with businesses along this highway that look of late 40’s, early 50’s vintage.  Some brick, none uniform as is the rage today.  Small businesses like Dan’s, a few clinics,  some gas stations.

Then onto 100 South to 394 and into Minneapolis.  At the museum I wandered through our various American collections, finding objects related to the diverse history of North America, especially the non-European part of that history.  There’s an interesting range of stuff, especially when the view is Civil War backwards.  We have several pieces from the 11th and 12th centuries, one, an atlatl that is even older.

After that we had our meeting on the Great Scanning Project.  The meeting was interminable due to lack of organization.  Sigh.  But we finished and I went back to look at some other American pieces.  I just remembered as I wrote this that there is the George W. portrait and the Charleston room and the Paul Revere silver, too.

Back home.
