Off to a late start. Had a near HD melt-down. Main PC is in the shop and the laptop is doing substitute duty. This little cannon is a monument to Mr. O'Neil and his actions against the British squadron. Seems to have been quite a cantankerous character... single-handedly manned the battery until he was disabled and taken prisoner aboard HMS Maidstone. Rest of the inscription is difficult to read, but I think we get the point. Now... time to get to the point with the lighthouse.... Enjoy; thanks for viewing. Special thanks for the kind words on Mable. She hasn't reappeared yet. We sometimes have 'sightings' of particularly interesting pets, and this is from someone who poo-poos ghosts, etc. I've seen Hamster snuffling about and have been scratched on the foot by Ming demanding his %$#@ treats. No other ferret ever did that and I know none were in the room with me.
