Preserving History
Am trying to back up my pictures onto an external harddrive... it is taking a long time; apparently I took some thirty thousand pictures in 2008 alone.
Took my daughter to the Roman History Museum here this afternoon. It is a splendid place filled with artifacts from the pre-historic and Roman periods found in and around Cologne.
She said, wonderingly, "Isn't it amazing that something becomes more valuable the older it is?"
After but a tiny pause for thought, she added, "I guess it is nearly time to sell you!"
