Aankomende zaterdag wordt het volgens de weerberichten rond de 25 C. Maar dat komt door het klimaatverandering zeggen ze,en daar moeten we met zijn allen wat aan doen zegt den Haag.

Op 29 maart 1968 had Nederland een vergelijkbare temperatuur: 23,9 °C in De Bilt en 25 °C in Brabant. Het is maar zeer de vraag of dit record van maart 1968 komend weekend in april gebroken zal worden. Waarschijnlijk niet. Het was in 1968 éérder in het voorjaar nog warmer.

July 7 2022 Asheville NC and Denver CO

We visited The Biltmore Estate this morning, which is a major tourist attraction and resort in Asheville.  According to Wikipedia 

“Biltmore House (or Biltmore Mansion), the main residence, is a Châteauesque-style mansion built for George Washington Vanderbilt II between 1889 and 1895 and is the largest privately owned house in the United States.  Still owned by George Vanderbilt's descendants, it remains one of the most prominent examples of Gilded Age mansions.

In the 1880s... George Washington Vanderbilt II began to make regular visits with his mother, Maria Louisa Kissam Vanderbilt, to the Asheville area. He loved the scenery and climate so much that he decided to build a summer house in the area, which he called his "little mountain escape". His older brothers and sisters had built luxurious summer houses in places such as Newport, Rhode Island, the Gold Coast of Long Island, and Hyde Park, New York.

Vanderbilt named his estate Biltmore, combining De Bilt (his ancestors' place of origin in the Netherlands) with more (mōr, Anglo-Saxon for "moor", an open, rolling land).  Vanderbilt bought nearly 700 parcels of land, including over 50 farms and at least five cemeteries; a portion of the estate was once the community of Shiloh.  A spokesperson for the estate said in 2017 that archives show much of the land "was in very poor condition, and many of the farmers and other landowners were glad to sell.”

Construction of the house began in 1889. In order to facilitate such a large project, a woodworking factory and brick kiln, which produced 32,000 bricks a day, were built onsite. A three-mile railroad spur was constructed to bring materials to the building site. Construction on the main house required the labor of about 1,000 workers and 60 stonemasons. Vanderbilt made extensive trips overseas during construction to purchase decor. He returned to North Carolina with thousands of furnishings for his newly built home, including tapestries, hundreds of carpets, prints, linens, and decorative objects, dating from the 15th century to the late 19th century. Among the few American-made items were the more practical oak drop-front desk, rocking chairs, a walnut grand piano, bronze candlesticks, and a wicker wastebasket.

George Vanderbilt opened his opulent estate on Christmas Eve of 1895 to family and friends from across the country, who were encouraged to enjoy leisure and country pursuits. The Gilded Age mansion reportedly cost $5 million (today's equivalent of $180 million) to construct. Guests to the estate over the years included novelists Edith Wharton and Henry James, ambassadors Joseph Hodges Choate and Larz Anderson, and U.S. presidents. George married Edith Stuyvesant Dresser in 1898 in Paris, France. Their only child, Cornelia Stuyvesant Vanderbilt, was born at Biltmore in the Louis XV room in 1900, and grew up at the estate

Stressed by Congressional passage of income tax and the expensive maintenance of the estate, Vanderbilt initiated the sale of 87,000 acres to the federal government. After Vanderbilt's unexpected death in 1914 of complications from an emergency appendectomy, his widow completed the sale. She carried out her late husband's wish that the land remain pristine, and that property became the nucleus of the Pisgah National Forest.  Overwhelmed with running the large estate, Edith began consolidating her interests, selling Biltmore Estate Industries in 1917 and Biltmore Village in 1921. She intermittently occupied the house, living in an apartment created in the former Bachelors' Wing, until the marriage of her daughter Cornelia to John Francis Amherst Cecil in April 1924. The Cecils had two sons, who were born at Biltmore in the same room where their mother was born.

In an attempt to bolster the estate's finances during the Great Depression, Cornelia and her husband opened Biltmore to the public in March 1930 at the request of the City of Asheville, which hoped to revitalize the area with tou rism. Biltmore closed during World War II. In 1942, 62 paintings and 17 sculptures were moved to the estate by train from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. to protect them in the event of an attack on the United States. The Music Room on the first floor was never finished, so it was used for storage until 1944, when the possibility of an attack became more remote. 

After the Cecils divorced in 1934, Cornelia left the estate never to return, but John Cecil maintained his residence in the Bachelors' Wing until his death in 1954. Their eldest son, George Henry Vanderbilt Cecil, occupied rooms in the wing until 1956. At that point Biltmore House ceased to be a family residence and was operated as a historic house museum.

Their younger son William A. V. Cecil, Sr. returned to the estate in the late 1950s and partnered with his brother to manage the estate's financial trouble. They worked to create the profitable and self-sustaining enterprise that their grandfather had envisioned. William Cecil inherited the estate upon the death of their mother, Cornelia, in 1976. His brother George Cecil inherited the more profitable dairy farm, which was spun off as Biltmore Farms.”

Down in the basement one of the most interesting things about the house museum was this display about the building of the mansion.

Some of the artwork on the walls, which was done by guests during a party, was amazing!

As a gardener, my favorite parts of the estate were the gardens and the greenhouse.

So, the question just begs to be asked.  What made the Vanderbilt family so exceedingly RICH?  Cornelius Vanderbilt came from a middle class family.  His father was a farmer but also started a shipping business.  Cornelius borrowed money from his father to start his first ventures in trading and ferrying, especially military troops and supplies.  From that success he build an empire in the railroad industry.  But was he TRULY a “self-made man” as so many industrialists were claimed to be?  Looking it the history during those years there were many other factors working in their favor. 

 According to the Grunge history website:

“After all, this was the Industrial Revolution; it wasn't really kind to the everyday worker. Low wages and horrific working conditions were just part of the era (via Legends of America). And that was true of the railroads, too; according to The Atlantic, the normal wage for a man working on the railroad was a pitiful 75 cents a day. That's next to nothing, especially compared to the millions in the pocket of the Vanderbilt family. It also feels like it lines up with something that Vanderbilt's son, William Henry Vanderbilt, said to the press: "The public be damned." They only really cared about their stockholders and investments,

Basically, the government wasn't really on the side of the working class; they definitely sided with corporations. As History explains, the government worked to keep foreign competition out of the picture, giving industrialists the chance to create monopolies while facing few consequences. (Honestly, maybe that's also because plenty of politicians were easily bribed, gladly helping out their friends with deepest pockets, making sure legislation favored big business over the everyday worker).

And even where rampant corruption wasn't involved, there was ignorance. Encyclopedia.com says that Cornelius Vanderbilt wasn't above manipulating the stock market as he saw fit, he and other business owners selling stocks at inflated and unwarranted prices, simply because the government regulation wasn't there to tell them to stop.”

And they also paid LITTLE TO NO TAXES!  Unfortunately, it sounds like not a lot has changed since the “Gilded Age”.  Yes, there are some regulations and controls on industry and corporations, but most of them aren’t strong enough to prevent monopolies and mistreatment of employees.  Just look at Amazon, Google and Meta (formerly Facebook).  And they are the biggest, but there are MANY other multi-national corporations monopolizing industries and union-busting so that they can maximize their profits.  That’s unbridled CAPITALISM for you, combined with political corruption, patriarchy, and GREED. The world has been plagued by this for centuries, if not millenia.  If you don’t believe me, read “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind” by Yuval Noah Harari.  It doesn’t have to be this way and many believe that a complete overhaul of the political and economic systems worldwide, as well as advancing feminism, would go a long way towards creating a truly egalitarian society.  I’m among those people. 

Bruce and I left North Carolina this afternoon to finish our vacation in Denver.  We realized that if we contracted COVID we would be stuck at the Omni with NO ROOM SERVICE and no ability to leave to get food.  Don’t ask me why that never occurred to us but seeing all those people not wearing masks was a wake up call and we hightailed it back to Colorado, where we checked into the Four Seasons Hotel, which has room service and is close enough to drive home at a moment’s notice.

July was another soaking wet month in the Netherlands. The country got 109 mm of rain, compared to the 79 millimeters typical for the seventh month of the year, Weeronline reported. The rest of the weather was more typical, with temperatures and sunshine hours around average for the time of year. The average temperature in July was 18.1 degrees, compared to the typical 18.3 degrees, which is the climate average for 1994-2023. The global warming effect is clearly visible when looking at previous climate periods. The average temperature for July between 1971 and 2000 was 17.4 degrees, and 16.8 degrees in the period 1961 to 1990. This involves temperature measurements taken a the national weather station in De Bilt, considered the average for the Netherlands. […] “It has been soaking wet since October 2023,” Weeronline said. Between 1 October 2023 and 30 July 2024, a record 1,103 mm of rain fell across the country on average. The typical rainfall for that period is 694 mm. “No other year comes close to this.” The previous record dates from 2006/07, with 902 mm of rain.
