Today I was at the annual flower and garden festival in Leesburg, Virginia. We try to go every year. It is a wonderful occasion with the Old Town streets closed to vehicles and hundreds of vendors of garden goods and plants. This gentlemen sells splendid birdhouses and garden tables of his own creation. He had a copy of the great American novel, "The Butcher's Cleaver" with him which he asked me to sign. I was pleased to do so. pl
You certainly had beautiful weather for the festival. I remember you told us about that gentleman with the hand carved birdhouses lat year. Does he have a website, email or any other venue for purchasing his birdhouses?

I remember that RPI is the second oldest engineering college in the US. VMI is the third oldest.
In re the birdhouse maker, he doesn't have any of that. I am going to find out if he has an e-mail address that I could post. pl

Colonel Lang,
Some of RPI's greatest gifts to the world were the Ferris wheel and the Brooklyn Bridge. I was no more than a mediocre student of anthropology, but I could work a slipstick to five decimal places and understand the math behind this hockey cheer:
e to the x, dy/dx, e to the x, dx. secant, cosine, tangent, sine, 3.14159, square root, cube root, log of pi, disintegrate them RPI!
