If you believe that guns kill people you would have to believe that cars cause accidents, pencils misspell, and spoons make people fat. #gunrights #mentalhealth #coloradoshooting

The ediface was beautiful and historic. The fire of April 15 left me shocked and sad.
Our Lady of Paris was begun in 1160 and largely completed in 1260. "Popular interest in the cathedral blossomed soon after the publication of Victor Hugo's novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame in 1831. This led to a major restoration project supervised by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, who added the cathedral's iconic spire, from 1844 to 1864. The liberation of Paris was celebrated within Notre Dame in 1944 with the singing of the Magnificat. Beginning in 1963, the façade of the cathedral was cleaned of centuries of soot and grime, returning it to its original colour. Another project of cleaning and restoration was carried out from 1991–2000." [Wikipedia, Notre-Dame de Paris]
