That Day in Dallas

History.
I love history and who isn't still fascinated with
the Kennedy assassination.

This is the Texas Book Depository.
Two floors chockfull of information and photos.
 Dealey plaza from the grassy knoll.
There are two X's on the street.
The X closer to the bottom were the first shots
and the 2nd X is the fatal shot.
The grassy knoll.
 The sixth floor window that Oswald shot from.
This is a replica of the rifle he used.
The actual rifle is housed at the National Archives.
 The window next to the window where Oswald actually shot from.
Quite a shot.
 This diorama shows the line of the bullets.
These are just highlights.
There are movie screens, picture boards and artifacts
 with lots of information.
It's quite overwhelming actually.
So.much.stuff.
A young man joined us in the elevator and said that
he was astounded. I asked if it was good or bad astounding.
He said good, that it all just consumed and
overwhelmed him. Quite emotional.
I told him that the assassination consumed a lot of people
for a long, long time.
