"Mason & Dixon reach Philadelphia (second only to London). Between the Transit of Venus and here, they went each to their respective homes? I had some trouble making sense of the chronology. Also some kind of controversy with their work and compensation. I don't really follow the politics either." — Dec 13, 2025 02:16PM

“It was the touch of the imperfect upon the would-be perfect that gave the sweetness, because it was that which gave the humanity”
