More Wrist Band Fun



Two more entries in the contest, this time from The Outer Banks of North Carolina and Los Alamos, New Mexico.

The Outer Banks were first encountered by the good folks who subsequently founded Jamestown. At that time the Outer Banks were the most inhospitable place on Earth (or close to it!). Read about it in the history books. Apparently unrelentless winds, bugs and a complete lack of drinking water made the settlers scramble north to Virginia to face Indians and disease as a welcome alternative. The winds later made two bicycle builders select it as a great place to fly their new machine. Now, due to the greatness that is the United States, we see it as a great vacation spot! Ask me sometime about my Frog Story!

And Fat Man is shown with a Wrist Band! Or is that Little Boy? A life-size reproduction of the bomb partly devised by Richard Feynman in his formative years.
