Most dogs do not like July 4th. The explosions bother them.



"What to the American slave is your Fourth of July?" Douglass said. "To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity ... your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are to him mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy — a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages." Frederick Douglass - 07/04/1852.

He later supported Lincoln and Grant.

T-Rex The Ultimate Predator, another visit. The Virtual Reality section is great.



Frederick Douglass by The New-York Historical Society is a talking statue. Been around for a while, just noticed it, the talking part. Using Phone-App is best. Will try Gahndi in Union Square next.

The Unseen Oceans exhibit was cool. Loved reading about the nearby Hudson Canyon. This picture shows the results of deep-sea pressure.



My favorite dinosaurs.



Mammals count too, in this case, a Woolly Mammoth.



Also, a quick visit to the Butterfly Conservatory.
