Quien Sabe, Who knows...Maybe, maybe not...There are a whole lot of things in Washington that are not what we think they are...if you get my drift.

I'm really sorry that we can't always get the truth about such a simple thing as a rock.

Yes, Jimmy, I saw it also when I went on my trip from Avondale.

I went to visit the Smithsonian Institute...but it was a replica

Could Be. All this budget stuff, is interesting. It is all pure politics. I remember during the W. Bush years the Democrats in charge of congress and ultimately the country, decided that there was not enough money to go around, with the war in Iraq/Afganistan/against Terrorism...decided that they needed to take some action regarding all this spending. The result, they started closing the Smithsonina at 6 PM rather than the 10 PM that had been the traditional closing time for generations. Now thare is a BIG SAVER. Then they closed a lot of National Park sites and took away Park Ranger manpower...You folks voted for Bush now look what he's done they said.

So maybe they actually replaced the Smithsonian with a REPLICA.
