Worst Weather in the World

I flew up to Maine to see my sister and cousins for a few days. As part of the trip we went up Mount Washington in NH. We went up on the Cogged Railway. It's A unique old vehicle system that only uses a large cog underneath the engine hooked into a ladder type of rack on the tracks all the way to the top. The modern engine uses a 600HP John Deere driving a hydraulic pump which in turn drives several hydraulic motors turning the large cog. Mt Washington is known for the extreme cold and highest wind in the world. Yes, the world. That was not the case when we went up. The winds were 3 MPH and the temp was 62 degrees. the highest ever temp ever recorded was 72 degrees and a 3 MPH wind is generally unheard of. So, the weather was quite kind for us.

I should be working on my paper but I am not. I received a job offer today and I am really preoccupied with the decisions surrounding the offer.

I received the Henry Bliss book from my Aunt today. It is fabulous. The poetry is fantastic! There is a quote as the frontispiece. It reads as follows:

"If science be regarded as organized knowledge and philosophy as organized thought, grounded on scientific knowledge, tho extending beyond it to speculative realms, the structural organization for knowledge and thought which has been outlined... may be regarded as the logical fabric of a microcosm, mental, intellectual, and scientific, which is consistant with and correlative to the intrinsic physical organization of the cosmos, the macrocosm.
Henry E. Bliss

I love it. This is a great quote.
