Just got an email from a friend, who used their battery HL Fresnel Lens for lights while their power was out during Hurricane Isabel.
Just thought I would pass this ingenuity on in case you experience loss of power in the future. Wish I had thought about that one. Her husband is the collector. She was glad she finally found a use for them.
Here's a cute one. Our neighbor's boy wanted Pop Tarts for breakfast the first day, and his mother told him the toaster would not work because the power was out. His reply; "I didn't know the toaster belonged to power." I guess you had to be here the day after the storm to probably appreciate that one.

That's pretty funny -
Marblehead, Mass. Lighthouse, you will always have a very special place in our hearts. ....We've made the journey as far south as New Jersey, as far north as Canada. Over 100 lighthouses visited.... and so many more to go.
