Kuroshio Current

Kuroshio Current

This channel features video about places, mostly in the Washington D.C. area, that are of importance and of interest to me, because of their history, beauty, and/or context of life in the area. The channel is named after a major ocean current system in the western Pacific. The Kuroshio Current is the sister current of the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic ocean.

    Hi, The gardens are not free. If I remember, there is timed entry. Parts of the museum are free. Check the website for more information.

    This video provides an excellent overview of the National Museum of the Marine Corps. I showed it to a group of people when we were en route to the Museum and they found it to be a great introduction. My only suggestion: turn down the volume of the music so we can hear the narration more clearly.

    That is FALSE. The horses tailbone is NOT docked. Only the horses tail hair is trimmed off for the look necessary. Horses that are not presented before the public retain their natural tails. Stick to raising cain about dog breed tails and ears docked and cropped and stop spreading misinformation!
