Happy Leap Year Extra Day!

Forums:

Hope y'all have a GREAT Saturday. An extra day to do what you want. 

Maybe you'll want to check out pics from the Smithsonian...https://www.space.com/smithsonian-open-access-space-artifacts.html

The Smithsonian has just relinquished its claim on hundreds, if not thousands of space exploration artifacts.

No, the National Air and Space Museum did not hold a yard sale. Despite its currently closed galleries as part of an extensive multi-year restoration, all of the physical spacecraft, spacesuits and flown-in-space objects that have been entrusted to the museum remain in the care of their curators and conservators.

Rather, the Smithsonian has launched Smithsonian Open Access, an initiative that removes the copyright restrictions from about 2.8 million of the institution's digital images, including photos of most of the NASA artifacts in the National Collection. https://www.si.edu/openaccess

Before Black History Month concludes, you can check this out at the Smithsonian. http://edan.si.edu/slideshow/viewer/?damspath=/Public_Sets/NMAAHC/NMAAHC...

The Negro Motorist Green Book, a listing of places safe for black people to travel. Started in 1936, this is the edition for 1941. Hey, lily white Utah had ONE hotel listed.  

Just one of the many things available through that Smithsonian site. 

Supposed to be 60 today in Salt Lake before another small snow storm Monday. Good day to get outside and get started on spring cleanup. 

The dude abides!

'Twas the eighth Quadriversary(?) of Lily's proposal.

Thought it was Sadie Hawkins day but it turns out that's an "unspecified" day in November (I never followed Lil' Abner).
