    the human spirit

    on you tube this was on the side bar. Amazing for one man. Sure many know about it but new to me.

    As someone who likes to be on the ground its even harder for me to understand.

    I’ve been to the castle (years ago) and seen it first hand. It’s both amazing and befuddling. I can’t relate to that sort of mindset, but…….
    Don't let it bring you down,
    It's only castles burning,
    Just find someone who's turning,
    And you will come around

    My buddy has a cabin in the sierras that was built by a German guy in the 30s.

    Cut granite foundation, fireplace, steps, patios, steps, garage, tool shed, walkways, and 6' high wall around the 1.5 acre property.

    All by himself AFIK. The place is covered in snow usually 5 months.
