This is the award-winning 1895 "The Clock House" in Rumson, New Jersey. 6bds, 2.5ba, $3.5M.

There are several entrances to this house, and this one would be the one to use if you want to use the elevator.

Off this hall is a large living room with a fireplace.

Also a part of this large space is a casual dining area.

This is a cool room. Looks like a grand hall for one of the other entrances. The floor kind of looks like a fancy spiderweb, doesn't it?

The kitchen has a beautiful island, otherwise it would be very plain.

Huge family room - look at the neon ceiling. Very nice.

This is a wonderful room. Geez, it's gigantic. This looks like a ballroom to me.

Nice curved stairs lead up to an area that is set up as a sitting room. Notice the balcony above.

The primary bedroom is very large and plain.

The en-suite is huge. All the rooms in this house are gigantic. The bath has a little rotunda type ceiling plus doors to a balcony.

I've never seen a bathroom with it's own private balcony.

One of the secondary bedrooms with an en-suite.

On the 3rd floor is a home office with a nonfunctional fireplace, but at least they kept the magnificent stone facade and mantle.

This is cool- there's a kitchenette up here with the workings of the original house clock on display.

There's also a bedroom and a home office up here. It's like an apt.

Outside is a pool and a patio with an outdoor kitchen.

And, look at this wonderful treehouse built around a big tree.

The home is on the Navesink River with a view of the Oceanic Bridge. The property measures 1.70 acres.

asbury park is crazy because springsteen is actually my father and my imaginary brother and all of my ex boyfriends whether they knew they were my boyfriends or not. and sometimes you’re taking the shore line down to long branch from penn station as you’ve finally settled into your second apartment in new york and you see glimmers of it there but it’s really not there it’s just asbury is the color of your eyes. and you’re listening to nebraska and staring through the filthy njtransit windows at the navesink river and your sister came over for dinner last night because you both couldn’t stand to be in jersey any longer but can’t stand to be too far away either. and yet you’re perpetually moved to tears on the train home like you’re gonna see the same thing that you left but the truth is it never feels quite the same as summers when you were a teen working on the boardwalk in this place with its history and it’s echoing ancient buildings regardless of your family that’s still there and the soft serve and the ocean. it’s different every time and sinister in new ways and yet the wound draws open wetter and wetter so new things stick to its opening and cement in there like they’ve always been a part of you. of it and of you.

Today, August 7th, is National Lighthouse Day in the US! The event was established during the bicentennial of when the US government created the US Lighthouse Establishment in 1789.

To kick off a week of lighthouses, we're starting with a book by the National Park Service and the Cabrillo Historical Association about the Old Point Loma Lighthouse (1978), located in San Diego, California. Included here are two pages about how the lighthouse was lit. Image transcripts below the cut.

Fresnel (fra-nel) lighthouse lenses came in seven different "orders," or sizes; first, second, third, three and a-half, fourth, fifth, and sixth. The first order were the largest, and the sixth the smallest. Generally, the larger the lens the greater its range. The larger lenses could be seen from further away than the smaller ones. Also, if a lens was high above sea level, it could be seen from further away than if it was at the water's edge. The ranges given in the illustration are median distances for a lens with a 1,000 watt bulb.

Lenses and Illuminants

Until the 1850's, nearly every lighthouse in the United States used a number of Argand lamps and parabolic reflectors for illumination. These lamps were placed "side by side around the circumference of a circle," and the number of lamps used depended upon the arc of the horizon it was desired to illuminate. For years a bulls-eye magnifying lens was used on each lamp, but these lenses were practically useless, and in 1840 they were removed, leaving the reflectors.

This system, which had become known as the American system, had but one virtue—the lamps were inexpen-sive. But their faults were legion: They were complicated, they used a vast amount of oil, they required constant attention, and, most important of all, they produced relatively little light.

In 1822 Augustin Fresnel, a French physicist, developed a lens apparatus which was to revolutionize lighthouse illumination. A Fresnel lens is like a glass barrel whose outer surface is made up of prisms and bulls-eyes. In a revolving or flashing light, the bulls-eyes are surrounded by curved, concentric prisms, concentrating the light of a central lamp into several individual beams, radiating like the spokes of a wheel. In the fixed, or steady light, the bulls-eyes become a continuous "lens belt," with the prisms [next page] parallel to it, producing an uninterrupted, horizontal sheet of light. Fresnel lenses were classified into seven orders. The order was determined by focal distance—that is, the distance from the illuminant to the lenses.

The United States was slow to adopt the Fresnel lenses, and for years a controversy raged in this country over the merits of the old and new systems. Finally, in 1841, the United States purchased its first Fresnel lens and installed it at Navesink Light, New Jersey, to test the new system. The Fifth Auditor conducted the experiment with all deliberate speed (the accent being on deliberate); 10 years later there were only three light stations in the country which had Fresnel lenses. On March 3, 1851, Congress expressed confidence in the new system by approving an appropriation bill which included permission for the Secretary of the Treasury to place the Fresnel lens system in new lighthouses, in lighthouses not having lenses, and in lighthouses requiring new ones.

In the fall of 1855 craftsmen installed a third order, fixed light lens in the lighthouse lantern. Made in Paris, it stood over five feet high and three feet wide. In the center, a lamp with three circular wicks, one inside the other, produced a flame of 168 candlepower. The finely ground and highly polished prisms, and the bulls-eye that encircled the lens, captured the light from this flame, focused and magnified it to about 19,000 candlepower, and sent it out in a horizontal sheet of light. According to the 1862 edition of the "Directory for the Pacific Coast of the United States," the lens of the Point Loma light which is 462 feet above sea level "illuminates the entire horizon, and in clear weather should be visible—From a mast height of 20 feet above the sea, at a distance of 28 miles."

104/120

This was a TBR jar pick because to treat myself to a book on my kindle.

5/5

I have a bunch of MC series that I am interested in so as a way to figure out if I want to read them, I went through and downloaded the first book of a few on my Kindle so I can sample them. This was one I found on TikTok, it was called a dark MC romance and I was interested off the bat.

I am so glad I read this. It’s short, just shy of 300 pages, so I read this in the afternoon today.

Reign is the President of the Navesink Bank chapter of the Henchman MC. Summer is a woman who has been taken by a man called V, and she ends up escaping the compound after three months of captivity. Reign ends up finding her and helping her.

This was such a good read. I loved the characters, and the plot was really good. It definitely gives off Sons of Anarchy vibes a bit. The writing sucked me in, and I have no insights as to why, I just seem to really vibe with this one. The writing was simple, but reading this book reminded me of Sick Fux, and I think that helped a lot. I do have some gripes about the way that it was instant attraction on his part, but I’m not going to fault this for that.

It’s also not short on violence and action. This MC is a part of the 1%. So these guys are not afraid to break the rules and bash some heads in.

I know for sure I really want to continue this series. I know there are at least 15 books or so. I’m hoping Reign’s brother and VP gets his own book, that man deserves it. (Edit:After looking into this series it’s 20 books and Cash, his brother is the next book 🥰)

If you have a hard time reading about SA, and s*x trafficking, along with any type of abuse, I will say that you should pass on this. Summer is a very traumatised woman, and she goes through shit, it even gives flashbacks of her time with V and his men.

Navesink Lighthouse

The Navesink Lighthouse, also called the Navesink Twin Lights, is a non-operational lighthouse and museum located in Monmouth County, New Jersey.

The current lighthouse structure was built in 1862, however there have been a pair beacons on the Highlands of Navesink since 1828. The castle-like construction possesses both a northern octagonal tower and a southern square tower. The large building in the middle served as the primary keepers quarters with additional quarters for assistant keepers in the wings attaching the towers. Navesink was the first lighthouse in the U.S. to be installed with Fresnel Lenses, making it the most powerful light in the country at the time.

During the 1893 World's Columbia Exposition in Chicago the French Lighthouse board convinced the U.S. to purchase an electric powered bivalve lens. The lens was eventually installed at Navesink and in its south tower where it produced 25,000,000 candlepower as opposed to the original Fresnel lens' 8,000 candlepower. It was so powerful the not only did its keepers require special eye protection to work near it, but also disturb the nearby locals and their livestock. In addition, the northern tower was decommissioned in 1898 as the new lens had overpowered it into uselessness.

A number of other firsts have occurred at the light over its history. In 1899, Guglielmo Marconi erected the antenna mast of the first wireless telegraph in the United States for sending and receiving messages on a regular commercial basis. The first experimental radio beacon was established near the lighthouse in 1917, and just before World War II the first experiments in radar were conducted in the shadow of the north tower.

The light would finally be extinguished in 1949, and two years after its' impressive bivalve lens would be bought and displayed in the Boston Museum of Science. Navesink light would eventually be truned over to the State of New Jersey in 1962 and converted into a state park and museum. The bivalve lens would actually be returned to Navesink in 1979 where it now resides in the light's historic brick generator building.
