He also invented sonar during WWI, and when he died, at the beginning of WWII, the US government whisked his papers away, and to the best of my knowledge, still have them under lock and key. In his studio in NYC he had lamps with no electric cords, and he played with others, tossing a ball of light back and forth; that has never been reproduced. Yes, he was very sensitive, strange and a compulsive, counting the spoonsful of soup he ate. But his unusual love of a white pigeon whom he fed at his window reminds me that years later, pigeons were found to have internal magnetic sensors that locate them and point their way home. Did he know or sense something there? Tesla should be there at or near the top.

Telling the truth is an FCC "policy" and not a law they found. See www.relfe.com/media_can_legally_lie.html.

BUT, I'm also with LeeAnn. And I thank her for relieving me of my fears of insanity when i feel the pull of school supply shopping - even at 62! BTW: best wishes on the happy family news.

The ragged trees tell a story of how extreme the winds can get at the water's edge. This is the first summer in a very long time that I haven't been to the ocean. Thanks for the virtual and photographic visit. Rich, you captured the colors of the sunrise blending into the night sky beautifully.

September meant new clothes, new books, and renewing friendships from the previous year. The advertisers really must have gotten to me because to this day I can't make it through Back-To-School season without buying some kind of school supplies, even though my kids are approaching middle age. Like a salmon swimming upstream to spawn, I find myself drawn to stationery stores for those marble composition books and #2 pencils around this time every year. And I still have dreams about forgetting my locker combination. I didn’t share your dread, Jeffrey. September meant new clothes, new books, and renewing friendships from the previous year.
