re: #58 oaktree

The smell of an injection molding machine would give me a different set of memories. I worked in a plastics plant for a year or so after college. An interesting grounding in learning at least part of the manufacturing process, how small companies deal with demand, quality, and maintenance issues. Plus a little bit about worker safety and training as well.

Well, those machines do use plastic, or at least that is what I remember. I could be in error though. Good times still, and great memories. I still visit the Museum of Science and Industry and the Field Museum of Natural History a few times a year. most recently I went to the Field Museum to see their “Gold” and “Horses” exhibits. Both were good, though Gold had more impressive things to be seen. But Horses has some truly interesting things to learn and its opening section was a good look at the evolution of horses.
