You know the rules.

One post per person per day. The name of the lighthouse must include the name of an occupation or hobby.

Baker Island ME

Don't know how many there are, but let's see what we can come up with.

The US Only rule wasn't announced on this one. So it's wide open.

Randy, isn't that the same light as the one Digger has posted? To my knowledge there's only one Graves Light in MA, the one in Boston Harbor which is a great light and would be an excellent choice for HL to make, imo.

I'm glad you caught that Mombo! I did it on purpose! Go to the top and reread - occupation or hobby.

I know people that collect marbles - old and new, worthless or valuable!

Gotcha again!

Hey Mombo, John asked you about diamonds, and I have the answer! Some people collect diamonds as a hobby (obsession? - mostly women!)(LOL)

So John, I guess it's a good one! (LOL)

Diamond (cutter) - That's an occupation. Lots of them are found in Amsterdam I believe.

If diamonds are a girl's best friend and man's is a pooch I think it proves that women are more astute than the men, even the blondes!
