And about 20 minutes, step inside a specially made rail cart used to securely move Nuclear Material around the United States. Later, a trip to the Panhandle Plains Historical Museum and nearby canyon as we tore their native and the plains exhibit. We begin our special feature at hallowed euro canyon state park. The experience of driving to paluro duro state part today is like it has been for thousands of years. All of a sudden you come across this huge drop into the earth, and even today, it is quite a shocking experience, maybe more so because youre traveling so fast. The fact that i get to come see this every day, i have to once in a while to stop and take it in and just make sure that im really appreciating how lucky am i get to be here every day. The canyon has been forming for about 1 million years or so. The bulk of the formation has happened in the last 100,000 years. It runs from here down close t
This facility. Right now we are in the baggage room. A lot of the original stuff is still here. Original construction, none of that has changed. This would have been the passenger and Light Commercial freight area. Your passenger freight, anything you are traveling with would come across here and be weighed just like what you have on the airplanes today. Your commercial freight would be done on the scales up top. One of the cool things you will notice as we go through the building is the construction of this building. This was billed by railroad built by railroad engineers, built to last. This building right now is over 100 years old. As we go through the building, keep in mind, this is a room that is unique. It is important to our history. This room would have been called the colored only room. This is where segregation took place. It has been converted to a room that people use for weddings and stuff like that, but it is an important part of our history and we want to make sure we ke
Largest Historical Museum in the state of texas if you count it by the number and the exhibition title is cattle, cowboys and culture, kansas city and the Amarillo Building in urban west.

Michael started looking at the number of objects in the panhandleplains Permanent Collection that related to kansas city. It turns out there were over 1,000 objects on a database that he pulled up. We looked at the objects and we found a good array of a variety of objects we thought we needed to do a show that told and sterhood of amarillo kansas city. This closeness is basically around the train system and cattle industry that drew those two cities together. We tell the story of that in this show.

Where they have Good Public Health system and you can make critiques about some aspects but china was able to jump on it quickly. That wasnt true in 2014 when people appeared in west africa. There was no Health System and for three months we were unable to know if it was evil and it turned into an explosive epidemic. We have to have no communities left out. We have to think of this not just as a development or equity issue but a Global Health security issue. If you get sick in one of those communities, you are likely to have side effects or die or have that disease spread among you. For all those reasons it is a good community. 75 , 13 large fractional countries, we are going to get granular with a metric, try to take away at that but also a metric on how those 0 dose children get incorporated into a system and we want to build a resilient Health System for everybody.
