Inside the Corning Observation Deck

It was a beautiful day, and there was almost nobody around. There is no longer a security guard downstairs, and when I was on the floor, the guide wasn't even there for a while. Big state cutbacks.

The other day when I was visiting with John Wolcott in Colone, he gave me this Wandering Jew plant which after a few weeks of slow growth has been growing quickly with the bright sunlight.
