Old Windows and Brick
In Finland, window glass was blown until the 1930s. The thickness of these glass panes was about 1.5 mils.

Lighthouse
We all need a lighthouse in our lives to lead us, whatever it is, a person, place or state of mind. This came to my mind as I saw all the news about mourning people for Prince Philip. I myself am not one to mourn for people I do not know. I sympathise, with the…
