    I was wondering whether it was a typo when you typed 383"B" - then I looked at the graphic.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            We used to vacation quite near there when I was a kid, on the Island of Mull and the surrounding area. You could say it's a bit out of the way. When I was 10, I managed to break my leg whilst visiting Ardnamurchan lighthouse, which amused my parents no end. The drive to the nearest hospital was quite an experience.

            I was only joking

                        A similar illustration could be made with the comments of GOP politicians about Trump in 2015-16

                          It's a lot better than this replacement.

                          Now see what was replaced. In my view it did not honor the Confederacy or its generals so much as it did the reconciliation between the sides.

                            You beltway types might remember this.

                            The Mormon Temple, just off the DC beltway is a striking design. The way it is situated it kind of pops into your view suddenly. If you hadn't seen it before it can be a bit of a surprise.

                            It was part of my daily commute for a while.

                            I don't remember having seen the message on the overpass.
