New Smithsonian exhibit for watch lovers
http://www.si.edu/Exhibitions/Detail...-to-There-4737
Just opened today, need to get down there, looks very cool as it relates time, travel and the instruments used to make that happen.

I miss the many Summer trips up there to visit the SI museums. The online tour has some interesting exhibits.

Love it. Was there a week after Discovery opened. Looked at the shuttle for 20min. Searched for the Speedy Pro on display for 30..... I think my priorities were in order....
