  • I saw this old, dilapidated (presumably abandoned) greenhouse on the way home tonight. I’d never noticed it before, the way it’s set down off the road. How much do you think it costs to replace that many panes of glass? How hard do you think it is to develop glass-making skills?

  • glass-making!… sounds hard, maybe I should put it on the list.
