Coal Town



Dad had a great time enjoying the Coal Town Museum in Westport... It was a mish-mash of collectibles, including antiques from lumber milling, beer making, medicine, geology, boats, planes and... we can't forget the piece de resistance... the coal mining industry. He told me, "You know you are getting old when you enjoy going in to museums like this because you recognize the artifacts as items that you used to have or remember from your childhood". We easily spent three hours in there. I fell asleep during the film(s). Sorry Dad... guess I'm not 'old' yet!
I did enjoy checking out the old chainsaws. Those bad boys were heavy! I tried to imagine venting a roof with one of those buggers. Back-breaking!
