“Oh little rock, You know this heart of mine just cant be bought”

I was in Little Rock, AR, for a few days this week.  The trip out there was crappy.  I flew out of O’Hare on a direct flight.  I left home at 0630 and got to O’Hare at 0830.  My flight was scheduled to leave at 1120.  Due to weather, my flight was canceled.  Ugh… I tried to go standby on the 1320 flight but didn’t make it.  I finally got out on the 1745 flight that actually left at 1930.  I finally made it to the hotel at 2200.  That pretty much blew my day. 

On Thursday I had a little time to kill before catching my 1945 flight back to O’Hare, so I went by the William J. Clinton Presidential Library.  Here are a few pics:

This is the outside (duh).

They have a couple of replica rooms.  Here’s the replica cabinet room.  The screens on the table are touch screen and give you more information.  You could sit in the chairs and check it out.

Here’s the replica Oval Office.  You can’t go in.  I suspect that they had too many people taking reenactment pictures around the desk.

Here’s a long shot of the gallery.  It’s two floors with exhibits lining the walls.

Here’s a picture of Clinton as a member of the Trojan Band.

This one made me laugh.  Notice that the “Percentage of people living on less than $1 a day” in 2000 was 1,169 million.  It’s even funnier because it’s above the “Literacy” line. 

It’s good to be back home.
