Hearing about the Tennessee Valley Authority reminded me of the time when my wife and I were camping early in our marriage and we looked for something to do and decided to visit a damn near the campsite. Well it turned out to be a pumped hydro storage facility and as a mechanical engineer it was insanely fascinating. They had an entire museum explaining the history behind the dam and how pumped hydro works. I had never heard of pumped hydro storage before, but immediately saw how the energy stored in pumped hydro simply dwarfs any other storage technology I know about.
I was sure that a holiday shopping stampede was going to be on the list! Very interesting episode though, and a touching moment thinking about the entombed family in Pompei. Reading body language in real time is one thing, but to discern the emotions/intentions of individuals in their final moments is a whole other level.
