I can't wait to place mine in my curio among my *other* lighthouses. I can't wait to have curious visitors ask, "Why is *that* in there?" so I can reply, "It's a lighthouse, like the rest of 'em." I never pass up an opportunity to illuminate others on the matter of lighthouses. I think that the personal discovery that SoL *is* a lighthouse just might be enough to draw others into our wacko world.

I can't penalize the designer of the SoL for creating something other than a cone to light our waterways, even if her symbolic light is more important than her physical light historically. Just because she inspires us in ways beyond the capability of the meaning of other lighthouses, just because she was a gift, just because she looks different are not reasons to discriminate against her, imo. She is the ultimate manmade lighthouse. She'll be top-shelf, center in one of my curios.

But as SThompson and many others have said,
