Sittin' and Thinkin' With Ben

They always say that if you want to improve your mind, then hang out with smart folks. One of the greatest scientists and inventors in the history of the USA goes back to the days of Benjamin Franklin. What comes to mind is Ben standing in a lightning storm with a kite. But I know that he was involved in much more than that. He had a very creative mind.

I really got a kick out ot fhis bench on a public street in McMinnville, Oregon. It was a pretty appealing place to be on a nice day. Move over Edison, here comes Ben Franklin and the King of the House is on his way.

Thanks for stopping by,

Mr. Steven, why are you not sitting on the bench next to him? Since Ben Franklin was such a funky guy, I'm thinking the two of you would compliment each other well. Kate

Hey Steven,

Yes, in order to have a great mind one must haug out with great minds. So to with inspectors. In order to be a great inspector, one must hang out with great inspectors.

Steven - That looks like a nice place to sit and relax. I would enjoy sitting with Ben for awhile.

Can you imagine what old Ben could have done with a blog?

I would LOVE to sit there and have my lunch! What a great bench, and Ben Franklin was some amazing man!

Franklin was concerned with public safety and founded some of first building codes. He would be someone I would love to sit on a bench next to and chat.

Steve, It may be cool to sit along side Ben, but when you start carrying on a conversation with him some folks just may wonder where you left your other oar...

Michael,

It is as difficult as having a conversation with Charlie Bee.
