I was within 5 feet of an actual molecule of Van Gogh? I made sure to breath in deep. It was all outdoor scenes of wheat fields, poppies and greenery. Nice stuff.

So it's certainly possible that there is some actual Van Gogh DNA hanging around

The day I visited I also saw Bill & Hilary Clinton boarding MARINE 1 helicopter, near the reflecting ponds.

(47,675 posts)I'm serious about that. My wife took her kids on a field trip and they had to leave ALL of their personal baggage outside the museum. Some generous food car vendor offered to guard them. What the FUCK is a 5 year old kid going to bring into a boring (in their minds) museum? Their lunches were in those bags. They didn't even search the bags, they just said "no bags". We're becoming a really sick society, if you can call it that anymore.
