No, I didn't see a mouse... daisies!
I'm allergic to daisies.
I actually have pet mice.
They're fat & fluffy, they look
like hamsters... just with long tails.

Hey, do you know anything about the
Pharos of Alexandria, as in the lighthouse
that was one of the seven wonders?

The Pharos (Lighthouse) of Alexandria

Illustrations and maps depicting the lighthouse and its location - A BIG LOAD

Sostratus, the son of Dexiphanes, the Cnidian, dedicated this to the Saviour Gods, on behalf of those who sail the seas.

A very Freudian post.

Concerning lighthouses, the Great Lakes has a huge variety of them that still exist. No fantasy here, just beautiful structures adorning crystal waters. We have several that we have the good fortune to see every year near our summer place.

Lake Michigan is one of the seven wonders....forget Pharos.
