We recently were forced to remove an Oak Tree on #7
that was dead. As I normally do, I enjoy counting the rings to determine
the age of the tree. In this case, it was 136 years old, born in
1882! That is the year Thomas Edison flipped the
switch to the first commercial electrical power plant in the United States,
lighting one square mile of lower Manhattan. This is considered by many as the
day that begins the electrical age.
As you continue along, you can see all of the years the Alabama won the
National Championship in Football as they go for yet another tonight. I figure some will appreciate this and
others, not so much! 😊
