Even with the poor service, the check rip-offs, the order errors, and my horrible entree ... I'd be willing to repeat Pete's for the bleu cheese fries and the cheese fries that were good even without swankhood, but were even better once we demanded our rightful Bacon.

Unfortunately, it's in downtown L.A. And you will likely NEVER find me in that area of town again.

I loved visiting the Natural History Museum again. It's been far too long. I love the cool dioramas of North American and African wildlife. And I could stay in the crystals and gems exhibit all day long. The musical accompanyment added a very fun element, even though it had some kinks.

The brand new Bog People exhibit and the Tarantula Time fun with spiders, scorpians, cockroaches and crickets were also great surprises.


Speaking of crickets ... Jiminy Crickets, that is ... are we too damned geeky for noticing all the Disneyland similarities in our tour of the museum?

There was the turn-of-the-century America exhibit of artifacts and vehicles that was pure Main Street, U.S.A. and Carousel of Progress. What were all those dinosaurs if not Primeval World? There was even a bit of Grand Canyon diorama in the North American wildlife dioramas, which was otherwise - along with the Native American exhibit - 100% Frontierland. The African wildlife dioramas across the way were quintessential Adventureland. The minerals exhibit was also very Frontierland, with a huge crystal ball that was decidedly Haunted Mansion.


Heheh, what a bunch o' NERDS!


I love US.
