Welcom, **Little Lighthouse**! Come in and make yourself comfortable. Don’t bother with the tapwater, though, 'less it’s got lots and lot of ice in it! ---

Welcome! Love the name, BTW. I’m a big fan of the Dukes of Stratosphere, myself. That is where you got it, isn’t it? ---

Lighthouse, eh? \*"There’s a picture opposite me, Of my primitive ancestry, Which stood on rocky shores, And kept the beaches shipwreck-free. Though I respect that a lot, I’d be fired if that was my job, After killing Jason off, And countless screaming Argonauts."\* —TMBG Welcome! ---
