And if you ever happen to get to Rigby, Idaho, stop at the City Museum and
see the Farnsworth exhibit. Turns out that Rigby was the birthplace of our
pal Philo and they have a lot of his early work, including photos of him and
his high school science teacher who encouraged him to pursue his ideas.
(Rigby is just north of Idaho Falls - surely you can find THAT on a map!)
(Also, Rigby is not so far from Yellowstone National Park, which might be a
bigger draw than Rigby although Yellowstone only has a bunch of natural
stuff - Geyser's, Bear, Bison, Elk, Antelope and stuff like that. But no
TVs or anything!)
