Thank you for your comments below, in answer to my previous observations and questions.

Your answer 10 boxes down, on Oct. 29, 2021, intrigues me. It mentions that "The area where we stayed in the Lake District is full of Roman remains as it is very close to the site of the Hadrian's Wall, the Roman Wall built approx AD 121. It split the country between what is now Scotland and what is now England."

Might Hadrian's Wall have mattered when British Isles-ers made up their minds as to where Scotland and England met biogeographically?

In other words, was that meeting-place already culturally, geographically, historically, politically, traditionally already worked out or was that meeting-place worked out with where Hadrian's Wall went?

There were few significant low places in Palestine.

Well observed.

Thank you, Tolovaj, for the comment second box down, in answer to my previous observation and question.

Your observation that "Mountains have a very special role in virtually all religions and this goes into all areas" correlates with what I find, know and suspect.

Roman culture is the only one that invokes low places with their sibylline prophecies even as Ismail Kadare, in The concert, about when Albania and China interacted quite regularly, itinerates Mao Zedong, not to the high places for time out, but to the low places. The former musters a positive association even as the latter musters a negative association (from the Chinese viewpoint, what with Mao Zedong -- in something that he never might have done in real life -- muttering Tibetan ancient Milarepa's poetic lines deep down in ancient Chinese caves).

But then what about all the perhaps spiritual art in the ancient caves?

Your second subheading, How to Glue Broken Ceramic, applies Zap a gap to broken items with gaps.

Does that gap describe where the broken pieces don't connect because some did not get found in the initial break-area sweep?

Does the Zap a gap cluster where openings derive from missing, not-found piece parts?

Thank you, Frank, for the comment second box down, in answer to my previous observation and question.

That Hebrew culture never emphasized low places in their worship intrigues me! What might they have thought of Roman culture, in which prophecy in low, scary, sibylline places mattered, moving into their land?

Thank you. I pray each day for every person on the planet and also for friends of which Frank and I count you as one. So you actually get at least two prayers every day from me. Happy Christmas.

Regarding Piriformis; it never fully goes away but I no longer use painkillers as I can cope with the pain. If I go over a bump in the road, my piriformis shakes and the pain goes up to my head. However, we learn how to manage it. I keep supplies of heat pads in the house, always.

My beautiful family , only 24 of us though , came for lunch on Christmas Eve. Frank was there, he spoke of you and your kind thoughts.

Peace on earth.

Thank you for your comments below, on July 1 and Aug. 11, 2019, in answer to my previous observation and question July 1, 2019.

Are you still feeling sciatica effects?

I hope not even as every day when I listen to, read or say Be Thou my vision I always list one to God (and Jesus Christ and Our Lady Mary) in the name of you and your husband and your family and to Frank and Maureen and their family.

The computer crashed before I continued to another component of my observation and question in the comment box next down.

The film time of just short of 90 minutes is enough to interest and involve audiences with the present days in the Baltimore lives of Dinah (Shirley Temple) and her Tom (John Agar).

But might it not have been quite appreciated, helpful and popular to make a sequel manifesting how married life perhaps mustered moving permanently or temporarily to the off-screen, on-screen couple's dream city Paris?

Dr. Hawking also acted as co-author with daughter Lucy to the George series of George’s secret key to the universe, George’s cosmic treasure hunt, George and the big bang, George and the unbreakable code, George and the blue moon and George and the ship of time. The daughter-and-father team additionally co-authored You and the universe.

The above-mentioned seven books allow an acquaintance among early and young readers with events such as universe beginnings with the big bang and with objects such as black holes.

All seven are among my favorite books. They would make such an educationally entertaining, entertainingly educational film (You and the universe) and such an educationally entertaining, entertainingly educational series (the George books), wouldn’t they?

You raise a good point! There have been some bodies found which when reported have mysteriously disappeared, or they've turned out to be large domestic cats. So, it's like everyone is waiting for that one sign that big cats do roam the UK countryside. Until then, there'll be sightings :)

Mountains have a very special role in virtually all religions and this goes into all areas. Our country, for instance, has our highest mountain (Triglav = Threeheads) in the flag. Triglav is also a name of the old Slavic god. Not to mention hundreds of sport clubs called Olympia all over the world.

Low places had no significance for worship among the Hrbrews

Thank you for your comment below, Aug. 11, 2023, in answer to my previous, same-day observation and question.

John of Damascus alerting us to Saint Joseph as widowered with children intrigues me.

Is there no information anywhere or in Christian tradition as to the name of St. Joseph's first wife or as to her burial place?
