| dc.description.note | He possessed a wealth of knowledge about crops,animals,weather and many other things that would leave most people clueless.He was highly adept at math,with the ability to calculate almost anything in his head.He seemed to just know an enormous variety of ways to read nature and he used them almost without even thinking about it.The methods used to predict the weather are top secret,and said to be developed in 1792 by the original founder.They give both a large-scale overview for the entire year and also very specific predicted values for temperature and precipitation on a monthly and daily basis.He has also gained a larger appreciation for the often-repeated ramblings of my grandfather and am now curious to test some of his methods. | |
