- Round Lake Dock (OregonHikers.org)
At first glance, the Round Lake Dock seems utterly purposeless. At about 10 feet long and standing in water inches deep, it’s not much of a place to show up in a boat. As a romantic spot, however… Well, I’ll let you take your special someone and find out for yourself.
- John von Neumann (Wikipedia)
John “Johnny” von Neumann (/vɒn ˈnɔɪmən/; Hungarian: Neumann János Lajos, pronounced [ˈnɒjmɒn ˈjaːnoʃ ˈlɒjoʃ]; December 28, 1903 – February 8, 1957) was a Hungarian-American mathematician, physicist, computer scientist, engineer and polymath. He was regarded as having perhaps the widest coverage of any mathematician of his time and was said to be “the last representative of the great mathematicians who were equally at home in both pure and applied mathematics”. He integrated pure and applied sciences.
