300 candles would make a heck of a bonfire
To say nothing of trying to blow them out.
Happy 300th to Ben Franklin.
The link is to the Chicago Sun-Times today.
No, I don't live in Chicago and I don't own stock in the Sun-Times. I just like the paper, at least most of it. I could do without a couple of their columnists but that pesky First Amendment gets in the way.

I love Ben Franklin. He was just so cool. When I was in Philly, they put me up in a hotel in the historic district. I stayed within two blocks of Franklin's grave, Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and all that stuff. It was so cool.
I just think he was one of the most intereting people. Apparently, he didn't have a good family life, but he sure was interesting in every other way.

Locals almost never show an interest in their locale unless they're escorting tourists. I could count on one hand the number of times I've gone up to Coit Tower and I never spent that much time at Pier 39.
Lombard Street? Not on your life unless I'm forced to drive someone who has seen only pictures of the crooked street.
Now that I no longer live in the city I call home, I regret I didn't appreciate it more. Life gets in the way.
