A very interesting historical article, Paul. Neat to read about lighthouse history and (at least in this case) what went wrong.

You'd think they would have listened to this 2,000 year old advice: Matthew 7:26-27 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.
