Road trip

My wife and I are ready for a trip to Newport, RI to visit our daughter and son-in-law (attending U.S. War College), leaving Friday June 19.  I'm planning a solo visit to NYC on Sunday and am listing the things I want to do.  Of course, the primary visit given my passion for the subject, is WD Gann's grave which will be the last of the NYC sites for the day.

If first occurred to me that, strangely, Sunday June 21 is the summer solstice.  Coincidence.  I didn't plan that.  I will make sure I have a newspaper to show the date in pictures that I intend to take.

Then it occurred to me that Mr. Gann was born in June 1878.  Nope, he was born on June 6, 1878, not June 21, 1878 (I kinda knew that was the case but wasn't quite sure).  Wait a minute, what of significance might have occurred in The Tunnel Thru the Air in June.  How about Sunday June 19, 1927?


Robert Gordon's great discovery of a time factor occurred 88 years and 2 days before the day I will be paying tribute and on the same day of week- the 7th day.  I didn't plan that.

In planning other visits, my second stop will be 42nd and Broadway, site of the fictional "110-story" "Mammouth Building," also known as "The Cedar."

Then I'll visit the WTC Memorial, WTC 1 and the site of the destroyed 110-story Twin Towers.  Of course I'll visit St Paul's Chapel to reflect on Rabi Cahn's thesis of Isiah 9:11; the bricks have fallen and the cedar has been uprooted.  And reflect on the number of times I found the word "cedar" in TTTTA.

My third target is 82 Wall Street, site of Mr. Gann's offices.  In researching the building, I find that it was built in 1902, is 12 stories…. interesting number 12.  And 1+9+0+2= 12.   Didn't Mr. Gann like the number 12?   Presently it seems, Suite 400 is available for lease with 5632 square feet.

Wow, 82 Wall Street…  82 as in page 82 of TTTTA.  Where Mr. Gann makes the, apparently misplaced reference to the 266th Pope and the remarkable events then to occur.  Where he immediately thereafter predicted, on that page, the period of the depression and WWII.  I have contended that Mr. Gann could not have made such an error and that the remarkable events would happen following the election of the 266th Pope; which occurred mere months ago.  Perhaps he was speaking to our generation as a repetition of that which occurred shortly after publication of TTTTA?

My last target of the day for NYC will be Green-Wood Cemetery and plot 37747 (a notable prime number), which, itself, symbolizes the Mr. Gann's philosopher stone number 432 (the number of pages in TTTTA) and John Dee (the person most cited in the telestic coding of TTTTA) philosopher stone number 252 (Monas Hierogliphica).  Remember my essay "Gann's Grave"regarding the composition of the number 37747:


Perform reductions and the smallest ratios of those numbers are 12 and 7.  Surely, I will reflect on Psalm 12:7 and the preservation of knowledge among the generations.

I didn't provide the first target of the day because it is irrelevant.  But, if you're early to rise, you might flip to Fox and Friends Sunday and look for a 64 year-old in a T shirt, sporting a Newport RI hat (to protect the camera's from baldness glare) and, possibly holding a "Will Work For Autographs" or something similarly stupid.

My last stop for this longest day of the year will be the Newport Tower which, like many very old structures, cannot be authentically sourced.  As I recall, the Tower has been carbon dated in the mid/early 1600s.  The curator of the Newport Tower, Jim Egan, maintains that it could only have been designed by John Dee because only he, in the 1600s, had the knowledge to design such an astronomic calculator.

I'm very excited about seeing my daughter and son and the one chance I'll have to pursue this obsession.

  1. Hey Jim, long time no speak
    Congrats on this upcoming trip.Enjoy yourself.
    Also, please bring a tape measure to Gann's grave if you can
    I'm very interested in the dimensions of the headstone (You know he just had to have hidden a nugget in the dimensions)

    Safe and happy travels
