Bandelier Anazazi Condo Ruins, NM 
June 20, 2001
Somewhere in these ruins, which are related to Chaco Canyon, may be a very accurate north-south wall, indicating high noon.  Also there may be an east-west line.  The north-south showed a knowledge of  Polaris and celestial navigation and the east-west indicated a knowledge of some geometry.
  Paula explores caves, with a view, cut into volcanic ash.

Wall painting preserved next to a cave.
At the Fowler Museum, which told the whole history of Los Alamos, did not mention Robert Oppenheimer, the head of the Manhattan Project and the father of the Atomic Bomb.
Oppenheimer explains nuclear physics to Paula at the Bradbury Museum, Los Alamos, NM June 20, 2001

Paula, the Bomb, hangs out with Fatman, the Hiroshima atomic bomb.
Cliff meets with a hydrogen bomb.
