Ben Franklin's birthday is today.
This guy was pure energy.
Among other things, he was a statesman, inventor, optician, printer, scientist, farmer, electrician, politician, writer, philanthropist, business owner, soldier, philosopher, abolitionist, salesman, wide-ranging traveler, educator, librarian, musician, diplomat, unionist, and sailor.
If there's one person in history I'd like to meet, it would be Ben Franklin.
But in the absence of meeting him, he's a great inspiration, don't you think?
Today is also Martin Luther King Jr's birthday. Wonder what a meeting of those two minds would have been like.
