August 6



Alfred, Lord Tennyson, was born today in 1809, and the Good Place is one of his homes; he wrote of it in 1854, 
Where far from smoke and noise of town,
 I watch the twilight falling brown,
 All round a careless order'd garden,
 Close to the ridge of a noble down.

What an interesting writer he was; you can hear the scene when you read...
The moan of doves in immemorial elms
And murmuring of innumerable bees. 


It's national Root Beer Float Day!
