SATURNcast: Rings of Saturn #46

Judge Learned Hand

Listen here.

Sir Issac Newton tries to annoy me, but only ends up making a fool of himself.

How are you?  I bet no one ever asks you that.

I receive a voice mail from ZillaFag which puts the fight with my parents in context.

I spend the 4th of July, an American holiday, cleaning the grave of one of the United State’s greatest judges, Learned Hand.  It is a travesty that people have allowed his grave to become abandoned.

Bean and I are going on vacation this week!  We will be in the deep, isolated woods of the Adirondack Mountains.  No cells phones, no blackberrys, no internet, no cable tv.  Just the Bean and nature.

I worry on vacations.  I know it is silly of me, but I do.

I discuss how I ruined my visit to the ruins in Rome.

Suzy B, Freddy D, Baby J and Me

Sunday, May 27th, 2007

Listen Here.

This may be my worst podcast ever.  I give you a soundtour of Mt. Hope Cemetery in Rochester, NY.

We vist the graves of Susan B. Anthony and Fredrick Douglas

I bring my dog Jefferson Kennedy Dog with me.

I do not like this podcast — because I am using binaural microphones with my iriver, the sound levels fluctuate up and down — which would drive any podcaster crazy.

I also give a brief history of Rochester and the suicide of Kodak’s founder, George Eastman.

I would strongly suggest wearing headphones when listening to this.

The sound quality fluctulates a great deal.

I woud not even post this, but my dog Jefferson is with me and I want to post her with me for history’s sake.  Enjoy.

(I would suggest wearing headphones)

Saturn flags ordered at half-mast

Grerald Ford

Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.

–Edna St. Vincent Millay
