Since last winter went so swimmingly, let's try it again! TFS has very graciously opened her home in the west San Fernando Valley to me again. This time her daughter AS (and dog and cat) are there too. Two women + two dogs + two cats = not my usual solitary winter again. Huzzah!

2014.03.08	Dr Pepper Museum
Comment	Our first foray out of town is to the Dr Pepper Museum in Waco, TX . I've never been a fan of Dr_Pepper , but TFS likes it, as does her nephew who was house-hunting in Austin, TX with his wife and child and who met us half-way in Waco.     Crazy Water                 Meyer-Dumore Bottling Machinery         The evolution of soda and soda containers. Unfortunately all the bottle displays were backlit,so not easy to photograph.             Slogans & Logos     Upstairs Root Beer                                                     Vending Machines     Vendorlator 100D         Selectivend 96 (L) and 48 (R)         Queen Anne     Liquid Carbonic Bottle Cooler and Dispenser     Cavalier (L) 6-Case Master (R) 3-Case Junior         A young W.W. "Foots" Clements explaining how he realized that people opened dispensing machines with their left hand, so he made sure Dr Pepper bottles were always located on their right.                     restored delivery truck An interesting niche museum with historical information we didn't know beforehand.
