#LetsTravelAugust Day 25: I was drawn by Tesla‘s tenacity in this story and strength of vision. He was not easily discouraged even when his hero, Thomas Alva Edison, refused to acknowledge the truth of his statements. This was subsequently known as the “War of the Currents” which culminated during the #Chicago World‘s Fair which was the very first fair lit with electricity. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-8zm

My 6 year old‘s Prime Book Box arrived today! I can‘t wait to read the Nikola Tesla book with him. He wants to be an inventor, so I think he‘ll be into it. 💡 He also loves nonfiction like his mom. 💚

It's a drizzly, smoky night here. We were very fortunate to catch the melting ballast in our light fixture before it started a fire. We could smell the burning and started to see smoke when we finally figured it out. Out bathroom is still smoky though as we try to air it out. I'm going to try to curl up with a book and not think about how scary all of that was.
