visiting Baltimore and a Rant

Well, today was a day of learning about buying prescription drugs when you have no health insurance. The pharmacies can basically set any price they want, and it's a lot. A comparison is that a "drug store" will charge $160 for the same 3 prescriptions that COSTCO charges $30.00. What is happening when a person on a fixed income with no health care is cheated like this. That is my RANT.

On the way back we stopped at The Baltimore Museum of Industry in an old building that was an oyster, fruit and vegetable cannery that opened in 1865. It offers a breath-taking view of the Inner Harbor.

I got this shot of "something" created or could be sculpture, when we go back I'll find out what it is.
a little history:
Unlike many of America's museums, the Baltimore Museum of Industry's collections do not document the lifestyles of the elite. You will not find fine art or furnishings. Rather, the 100,000 objects the BMI holds document the often-overlooked people in history-the workers, small business people, and citizens who built America.
There is a collection of approximately 250,000 photographs. The images are of Baltimore's working class in their work place from the late eighteen hundreds to 1980. The images are very unique and have let us into these workplaces that are long gone or modernized.


Hope they let me take pictures.
