What are you reading now?

 Trinidad suffered the setback of an   island outage on Wednesday 16th February 2022. It started a little after noon. Tobago was not affected

I was happy to have been reading a book i found very interesting. So i absorbed myself in reading throughout the blackout during the daylight hours.

ENJOY THE MUSIC

2950

Thomas Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was a pioneer in innumerable ways. He invented the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and the light bulb; ran a successful business and research laboratory, was a tough (and eccentric) job interviewer, had his last breath collected by pal Henry Ford, and—perhaps most notably—recorded the world's first cat video. We are forever indebted.
