Well this is interesting. On April 27, 4977 BCE, the Universe supposedly came into being. At least that’s what German mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler said in the early 1600’s. While Kepler is said to be one of the fathers of modern science, scientists in the 20th century developed the Big Bang theory, which claims that his calculations were off by about 13.7 billion years.

Dad ignored all region maps, planting advice, etc., and lived by one rule – never put out plants before Memorial Day.
Dad, as usual, was correct. Dad was always correct (sigh).
The only fertilizer ever used was his home-made compost, except one year I put down lime – it was needed. Try coffee grounds, they worked wonders for me.

So glad the windows survived. I guess it’s kind of silly, but I loved stained glass and humanity doesn’t make this stuff like we used too.
LikeLiked by 4 people
It’s funny stuff too. I remember being in the German cathedrals and the guides telling us that the stained glass isn’t really a ‘solid’, it’s more of a super viscous substance that over the centuries tends to slump and needs to be releaded.
When Ann Rice bought the old St Elizabeth’s in New Orleans she had all of the stained glass windows in the upstairs church sent out for refurbishment, an expensive process. They came back more beautiful than wen they left and I’m just hoping that the new owners who bought it appreciate them.

This was an answer to a question on Quora about what it would take to start a revolution in America. I think it is a really good answer. I like this guy his answers are usually very good.
We already had one.
I guess you missed what happened two years ago, when Americans rejected the hand-picked candidate who was supported by the political elite of both major parties, and elected someone with no political experience who was despised by all of the āelites,ā whose supporters were called āa basket of deplorables,ā and who was beaten in fundraising $639 million to $302 million?
He was also the target of a massive campaign of voter suppression by the mainstream media and pollsters who repeatedly released disinformation saying he had āno chanceā to win, in an effort to prevent his supporters from even bothering to vote.
This candidate, once he overcame this and won anyway, has since been subjected to an endless investigation of alleged collusion with a foreign power, and the only thing it’s discovered is that his opponent paid operatives of that foreign power for a dossier of information against him.
And did I mention that the winner of this election is tearing down the existing world order as we speak, and freaking out a whole continent and the world’s most populous country, while helping empower Nationalist movements around the world?
Revolutions don’t have to be violent. You’re living in one right now. Grab some popcorn.
