    What a wild and lonely place, Loz!

    I can just imagine how seamen must have felt when they caught sight of its lights!

    Hey, Syl:

    My first recollection of a lighthouse in film was in the SF/horror flick: The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms. I had to get permission from my parents to see it as I was at my cousin's house [I was 7 or 8 years old]. Does Minimus care?

    The dinosaur ate the lighthouse, or the terrified attendant, watching, helpless, all alone in the world ...

    Oh, I like lighthouses as I grew up on the sea and particularly loved the forlorn wail of the foghorn, heard but unseen in an inpenetrable fog.

    Lovely prose!

    I used to read about stuff like that and could actually feel the mist and hear the pounding surf ...

    Can you imagine a more lonely existence than that of a lighthouse keeper?

    I don't know what it is about lighthouses. But I never have a good feeling when I see them. I can't describe what I feel, but it is a definite uneasiness.

    LOL at TAI

    People regularly visit cemetaries. Most caretakers I know had other employment.
