I spent nine hours driving through the rain to do a pilgrimage today. I have a meeting at Yale tomorrow so I decided to come down a day early so I could go visit my friends at the Tesla science Museum in WardonCliff Long Island. It’s not really cold Wardencliff anymore.. I think it’s called Sherborn or something like that. What matters is that the last laboratory that Nichola Tesla had was on this site. It was a beautiful Stanley white building that was Tesla’s headquarters until the late 1920s… Maybe later… I don’t recall. Anyway I thought the building had been destroyed when it’s 75 foot tower had been taken down. Not so… It actually had fallen into other hands. It Turns out that it was most recently used by the Agfa Corporation for chemical manufacturing and had become a Superfund site. Now a brief group of people have bought the land and are making it back into a Tesla museum and science center. I’m down here because I’d like to be involved somehow. The details of that are a little too premature to discuss here… But their vision for what this place will become is amazing…

. It’s still too toxic inside To go inside without special clothing. Tonight I had to Satisfy myself by walking around the old building and the old coil base. Even that was wonderful



I had to travel to and from the museum by ferry boat… It was something that Google maps had forgotten to tell me.… It was a pleasure to be out on Long Island sound in the stormy weather

OK… I have an early meeting tomorrow… Got to go to sleep.

More tomorrow

Nite all, nite Sam
