In reply to Hankering for History. I am sure he is considered to be foolish for not making money from his ideas.

In reply to Joe Owens.

Thanks for stopping by. Of many worth admiring, Franklin is at the top of my list. I read something about him just last night that I thought was interesting. Franklin never patented a single one of his inventions…

If only we good adhere to the majority of these we would certainly be better for the attention to the details. I always have admired Franklin, believing he was a practical man living in some heady times as a country was formed here.

interesting – -I had always assumed he was a ladies man, from comments about him in Paris. Do you know if that is true ?
