George Washington's Tech Guy, Yes He had One! Too!


                                                                                 

                                                                  Dr. Benjamin Franklin

President  George Washington was a lot like President Donald Trump.  They are known to have a significant presence and depend on some talented aides.  Trump depends on Musk and his tech crew and  Washington depended on the first electrical engineer, Dr. Benjamin Franklin  (Honorary degree from Oxford University, England).  Whoa! What do I mean by this.  

Although Franklin wasn't the first person to discover electricity, he did invent the lightning rod that protected structures here and world wide from burning down when hit by lightning.

Let me explain,  Franklin reminds me of Elon Musk, both were/are geniuses, and in Franklin's case because he did scientific mapping of the Gulf Stream while sailing to and from England, he was Washington's engineer so to speak, in fact he is sometimes referred to as the first electrical engineer, now we could refer to him as a" tech guy!" And, who does that remind us of?

Another scientific accomplishment by Franklin:  in astronomy he is  known for his study of the transit of Venus around the Sun.

Besides being a scientist he was called upon by Washington and others to help the new colonies and later help win the American Revolution, a little like our Government aide too.  You can find out how Franklin  accomplished winning the American Revolution by reading my book, Why is a Spy Called a Mole?

  Here I  am in the red coat and  my name is Mayor Molly McMole and I'm featured in a book series written by Lorraine Strieby who hails from Los Angeles now living in the San Diego area.  As you can see I am a mole and since Strieby lives in San Diego I secretly live there too with my Mole Tribe underneath San Diego. I've been around the block several times, hardly anyone sees me because I am a mole.  We moles have been here forever and my ancestor Christopher McMole was a spy for President George Washington. Christopher wrote a diary, now in my possession, so I write about Washington and his tribe which you humans call "forefathers," You can read about McMole and Washington in Lorraine Strieby's children's book,    Why is a Spy Called a Mole. Your tribe seems to have a problem right now with following the US Constitution which your tribe wrote back when you were fighting the British.   My tribe thinks this inspired Constitution, written by y...

I f you have had an experience meeting a crow it is an experience you will not soon forget.  They are as intelligent as a 7 - 10 year old child. They are so intelligent that sometimes they will seek out a human contact and when they bond,  the crow will bring his friend gifts.  Sometimes a rescued crow will even honor h...
