DVR.
Just finished watching 2 part Ken Burns documentary on Benjamin Franklin.
Fascinating...didn't realize how much time he spent overseas advancing the Republic and Patriot cause.
Came at a cost to his relationship with wife and only son...highly recommended viewing it it comes back on PBS.
His views on slavery and getting the nation started without imploding from the start were genius...he figured out his prejudices towards the end of his life.
He discovered the Gulf Stream…
He called it the Gulph Stream
Took measurements of water temp and air temp all the way back home to Philly on his last trip.
nothin' wrong with thathe loved the ladies too…
