This that and the other thing. Though there might be more of this than that. And little of the other things. Maybe.

History Is Ending

Well not History history but the National Museum of American History. It's closing September 4, 2006 and will be closed for two years for rennovations. There will be a mini-exhibit, Treasures of American History, over at the National Air and Space Museum with select pieces displayed. There are over three million items in the Nat. Am. Hist. Mus., so obviously they can't cram it all into the A&S Mus. Some items to make the move:

the Walgreens lunch counter from Greensboro, NC
R2D2 and C3PO
FDR's mic from his fireside chats
Dorthoy's ruby slippers and pal the Scarecrow
Thomas Jeferson's bible
Kermit the Frog
Ali's boxing gloves

Anyone wanting to see the whole museum best act quickly before Hotel U2Lorax fills up! ;)
