I’m responding to a request from RdM who asked if I could look through the diary around his November 14, 2017 flat earth versus spherical blog. I came across entries on November 11 – he wrote more than 5 pages that day – I ‘ve scanned three. Half way down the first he writes…Brigette and me arguing with Grainé whether or not the earth was flat. What a wonderful conversation!
How it develops, I don’t know but at least the subject is touched on.
Frank’s writing isn’t the easiest to come to terms with and I might try OCR to see if I can get a more polished result. But his own writing does provide colour if not light.
The day was a good one for him. His last entry – which I include – begins: It’s been a remarkable day…

Thank you for this, Andrew. I remember the flat earth discussions on the Smoky Drinky Bar – for a time that was a pretty entertaining topic. One of my strongest impressions of Frank remains the fact that there was nothing he couldn’t consider and discuss intelligently. He was truly a free thinker.
Hi Emily, reading Frank’s blog for me was like a daily chat over the fence with a friendly neighbour and as you say, he was a free thinker.
I still remember our discussions on the best way to construct and defend a hill fort.
Its a bit scrambled though.

Thank you, Roobee and please thank Phil, from a quick read through that just about covers everything.
Ancient wisdom finally proved by the scientific method
I remember being told about it on the SBD, but unfortunately I missed the actual discussions. Pity, because it sounded worth being a part of
