In order to understand who we are..

...we need to understand where we have come from.  While in Sioux City, I visited the Public Museum.  They have a couple of different areas.  Some area show specific things unique to the area; the corn palace, the flood, the downtown fire, and the crash landing of flight 232.

Then they have things that are common for most Americans. Antique furniture, telephones, combes, brushes, clocks, and trunks.  The inovation era.  The museum has been upgraded to have interactive displays with movies that expand on the written plaques.

As I walked through the museum, I couldn't help but think that most of the things there could easily represent most of the towns across the USA.

A TV from this era would not have color. Hmmm.
