On my way out of Big Bend National Park, I stopped at the Fossil Discovery Exhibit.

Blindingly sunny day.

I am generally a pretty shallow-minded museum and exhibit visitor. The Fossil Discovery Exhibit does have a few things to ooh and ahh over for people like me.

But other than some cursory glances at the audio-visuals and the outlying scenery - and a trip to the bathroom - I was done. That's entirely a reflection on my exhibit-attention-deficit tastes and not on the quality of the exhibit. As if I needed to say that.

I also may have been thinking about lunch.


It did remind me of my trip to Dmanisi in Georgia, the presumed birthplace of Europeans.
