Easy to forget the beauty that surrounds us amongst the din of “civilization”. I teach my kids to have the connection with nature as a secure lifeline to reality. Thanks for sharing.

Steve,

I have seen a number of "documentary types" of programs re: the advancement of electricity as we now know it. Edison, Westinghouse, G.E., a/c vs. d/c., etc. I believe it was Westinghouse that "stole" Tesla's coil invention and used it for their purposes.

I'm not certain there is such a concept as "ethics" in big business. Sure--"small things" are outwardly done to give the appearance of propriety/ethics. But I bet your head would explode if you knew what was going on behind the proverbial "closed doors" of any mammoth company.

Pros and cons of capitalism, I suppose.
