                      I toured a tower house in Ireland recently, and they mentioned this interesting fact. In addition to that, the height of the stairs also was varied from step to step to slow down anyone running up the stairs.

                      Also, the lower floors had super narrow windows to prevent archery people from shooting arrows through them

                                  D1 and I took a ride on a Ford Trimotor back in 1997. The seats were not dissimilar - basically just office chairs bolted to the floor.

                                    George, do you remember what it was like?
                                    I read that they vibrated hard due to the engine attached to the fuselage and that it was so loud it was hard to hear. Looking at the Harley landing gear, I would imagine some landings were pretty hard. Cool that you were able to take a ride in one!

                                        Re: fluent English - quite interesting. Most make sense, but I was a bit surprised by the Canada number. I did not realize that there were that many French speakers that did not know English. Though I have to say when I visited Quebec City, I did come across a few of them. LOL (But they all were very kind and friendly)

                                          I think there are probably more recent immigrants that don’t speak English than québécois.

                                          Probably some First Nations folks too.

                                          Only non-witches get due process.
