Or maybe travel and VISIT many factories.
They had a "top ten factories to visit" on the travel channel last night, it
was SO cool!!
There was the Kellogs factory where you can get froot loops and such on your
icecream, the Tootsie Roll factory where they have "lickometers", the Ben and
Jerry's one where you can visit the grave yard of deceased flavors.....and so
on.
I want to do a U.S. factory tour some day!!

Made in the USA_ Full of factory tours all over the us. We take it on
every trip we make. You can find it on Amazon or used probably on Half.com
We've gone to a fortune cookie factory, the Stanford Linear Accelerator and
the Celestial Seasonings plant (don't miss the peppermint room), just to
name a few, as a direct result of owning this book.

that I understood when he said "automation" he didn't mean "automobiles" like
the other women he met. lol.
When he travelled for a living, we would go with him, and sometimes we would
get to see his robots in action, or look at the conveyor or vision system in
the shop before it was shipped to the customer. I still love going on field
trips to factories with the unschoolers around here.
My dad was always fascinated with any kind of process, too. I've sat in cars
with him by the side of the road while we watched stuff happen, listen to him
explain how things are made, etc. He took my sons to the opening of a tunnel
on a new interstate that was the first tunnel through a mountain ever built
in Arkansas, and they were all on the news. And now I find myself pulling
over to watch a crane lift a steeple to the top of a church. Will and I are
keeping track of the progress on a new radar tower they're builidng on our
route (it looks like a giant golf ball on a tee). We thought they'd get all
four quarters of the ball up in one day, but it took them 2 weeks.

watch forever, even people doing remodeling work inside a building. Lanora
has learned to wander off by herself and come back when she thinks we are
