Brain Dead

We took grandson today to Bradbury Museum exhibit, Brain Teasers, on loan from the Explora Museum in Albuquerque. It had a pretty lively crowd trying to do the puzzles. Neither spouse nor I showed any startling adeptness at solving the puzzles. Grandson gave up pretty quickly too. I went to the front desk and asked for the solutions. She gave me a 3 ring binder that had the solutions and hints. I managed to solve one from the hint alone but then tried a second one and just gave up and looked at the answer.

After that, I decided to turn in the book and go study the aerial photo of the Pajarito Plateau and the raised relief map of New Mexico in the Bradbury's lobby. We're so lucky to live in such a geologically astounding and mountainous part of New Mexico - right on the eastern edge of the Valles Caldera!

Meanwhile, spouse was watching with grandson a movie on stockpile stewardship. Grandson liked the graphics and computer animation but was less interested in the talking heads. I'm totally amazed that grandson watched the whole 15 minute movie!

In the history room of the Bradbury, I enjoyed the portraits and bio info on 5 hikers I know who worked on the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos.

Walked to Diamond Drive and back tonight. The sidewalks get better each night. I could see the lights of the grooming machines working on the slopes of the Pajarito Mountain Ski Area.

I'm not sure if I've picked up some germ or not. I'm getting chills and feel weak. I'll see how I feel tomorrow.
