Beautifully slow and steamy day here Jonesville. I was just under 90° super humid. Nobody could move quickly so everything kind of went slow motion. And that it was nice. ‘Diane and I got out for a quick 5 mile hike in the middle of the day… It was so hot and buggy… But it was great getting our bodies moving. On the way walked by the wootans Beautiful house up in Honey Hollow. They have this great sculpture of kids skating and they had put Covid style facemask something. Really cute and poignant
Later this evening we have been invited to a screening of a new movie about to call the Tesla. We were invited because I’m part of the advisory board of the new Tesla Science Center at Wardemclyff . The evening started out with two demonstrations one by this guy Greg L.… Who makes huge tesla coil’s…
And then a short show by the group architect… That uses dual tesla coil’s to make really cool music. One of the guys plays guitar wearing a chain mail suit. Really cool I’ve seen them at several places
http://johncohn.org/base/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/img_8411.movThe main event was a new movie called ” Tesla”… By Michael Almareyda . It’s starred Ethan Hawke and Kyle McCalahan… (The mayor on Portlandia! ) It was really interesting. The storyline kept fairly close to the normal Tesla canon .. but it played around with it in a really nice way the leading woman was playing Ann Morgan… I don’t know the name of the actress but she was great.… They kept switching times and adding elements like Edison bringing out a smart phone. That kept it light. The movie was pretty artful… A little slow at some points but I really liked it… It’ll be very interesting to see how it plays when it’s released…
OK time for sleep… Tomorrow we head out camping rain or shine I think we’re gonna be rain
Night all, night Sam
