City and Science

Today is known as the birthday of Dublin City
in the year 988 -- mostly because a King came
into power and taxes were collected.

Happy Birthday!

Dublin in 2012

Perhaps you have visited Dublin and gone
into one of its many pubs. You certainly would
have seen their famous stout ( Guinness ) served
by the pint. You might have gone for a taste,
since it looks akin to a cold glass of Root Beer.
Surprise! An acquired taste -- the Irish say.

Arthur Guinness and his wife had 21 children.
They were generous with their wealth and
helped restore St. Patrick's Church in Dublin.

This day we also remember Nikola Tesla, born
on July 10, 1856. He was an inventor/scientist
who immigrated to the U.S. and worked for
Thomas Edison until he began his own electrical
projects. 

 Nikola Tesla left us some thoughts & beginnings:

"Though free to think and act, we are held together,
like the stars of the firmament, with ties inseparable.
These ties cannot be seen, but we can feel them."
                                                       -Nikola Tesla

Perhaps you will look at a stranger today andrecall the words of Nikola Tesla . . .
