Someone here knows something...

[I visited Dallas around November 10; the shot above shows the Grassy Knoll.]

A couple blocks from Dealey Plaza is the Conspiracy Museum. Flyers for it are available at the visitor's center, which is almost unmarked. The museum has exhibits on JFK, as well as a UFO display in the basement. The guy there was taciturn and unfriendly. He let someone in from the Dallas Morning News in for free, and I asked him if there was free admission for media members. He didn't answer that question, but apparently a lot of newsies and celebrities have been there. The only one he could name was Richard Belzer.

I decided not to enter for various reasons but mostly because it cost $7. And, to be truthful, all of my dollar bills were from change I'd gotten after getting cash-back somewhere, and, well... The museum appears to be for real, at least on the surface. I got a kind of creepy feeling from the museum. I'm not saying nothin', but, what better way could there be to keep tab on strange people who hold unconventional views than by starting a museum?

I decided not to go to the more official Sixth Floor Museum (official site: jfk.org), despite the fact that it's the "Most Visited Historic Site in North Texas." It cost too much, and you couldn't shoot pictures due to fears about copyright infringement. Does that even include shooting through the famous 6th floor window? Yes it does. They occasionally give permission to the real media, however.

Say, did you know that no one - not even the most famous U.S. sniper - was able to duplicate Lee Harvey Oswald's three shots in 5.6 seconds? I'm not sayin' nothin', just linking.
