NOTES
- Thunder and lightning started on way home
- Listened to classical music on radio KUSC FM 91.5
- La Brea Tar Pits / Page Museum
- Tar pull interactive exhibit clearly demonstrates how less than 6 inches of sticky asphalt would doom nearly anything
- Learned difference between asphalt (natufal) and tar (result of human processing)
- Asphalt bubbling to the surface on the grounds and marked with green traffic cones
- We briefly walked around the outside of the LACMA--very nice and worth a future visit
- Some animatronics
- Griffith Observatory
- Tesla coil
- Food very good but very expensive
- Beautiful sunset and view
- As we exited, listened to warm up at the Greek Theater ("5 Seconds of Summer with The Aces")
- Learned about radiocarbon dating--it's a dating web site for radioactive C14 looking for the right Oxygen partner to make radioactive CO2
