like, buy your replacement windows at WalMart already!

it seems a parallel with the thinking that preventive health management 
is not very widely educated because then there are no pills to sell, if 
you know what weeds to eat, or not eat in your yard you can live 
forever... well, maybe

at the Old House in Cutchogue (North Fork, LI) there are windows that it 
is said were the 1st in North America, or some such blarney, glass 
brought over from England and how folks would travel out to the North 
Fork just to see this new fashion thing that you could look through
