July 13, 2013 Museum day in Livingston, MT

On Saturday, the four of us went into Livingston, where we visited two museums and had lunch in the "historical district".  All four of us love to explore museums, so this was a win-win!  One museum is the Yellowstone Gateway Museum, and the other is the Livingston Depot Center.  Both are train-related, since this is a railroad town.

I hope you can enlarge this and read it.
The "monad" is the ancient yin/yang symbol and is on the building and everything else associated with Northern Pacific.

July 9, 2013 Bicycle ride into Livingston, Montana

It was a lovely day for a bicycle ride, so Jimmy and Ruthie and I pedaled into "town".  Nice flat ride on a former railroad bed, so it wasn't too strenuous.  Most enjoyable!

These things live in holes in the ground and act like squirrels, are they ground squirrels?

We stopped and threw some hay over the fence for these horses....

And this one said "Thaaannk yeewww!"
