Can you do this what this TV weatherman in Alabama asks?
"If I were to give you a blank map with no labels, no highways, just county lines and state lines, could you draw a dot within 50 miles of your house?" he asked.

A frustrated James Spann complains: ‘People can’t find themselves on a map’

If it was a proper map, with topographic features like watercourses and land heights, yes.

But if I lived on the great open plains of Tornado Alley, I'm not so sure.

And I don't think straight-edge county and state lines, like those created by the British Empire and the early American immigrants, help very much either.

As it has County & State lines on, the map scale is known, so just draw a vertical line on the side & a horizontal line on the bottom. Once done grid it to an inch grid. Basic but fairly accurate.

Reading is good

Great story; thanks for sharing. Happily, I've read several of the books listed, including those (and others) by Paton and Achebe.

Notre-Dame fire: Why the cathedral blaze was difficult to tackle
A complex, flammable, roof

Guillermo Rein, professor of fire science at Imperial College London, told the BBC that "what the Paris firefighters did was close to a miracle".

"It's completely different to most training because all the material burning is the roof," he said.

Guillermo Rein, professor of fire science at Imperial College London, told the BBC that "what the Paris firefighters did was close to a miracle".
"It's completely different to most training because all the material burning is the roof," he said.
The roof, made up of centuries old oak trees, fuelled the flames.
The framework that held up the Notre Dame’s roof, known as the “Forest.”

The frame supported a lead roof that weighed 210 tons that of course collapsed when the framework was burning.

Waterbombing wouldn't do nothing to put of the fire until the roof collapsed.

That is not true, Trump lives in his own universe and it would have worked in his own mind.

Lead tile roof, so until the fire gets hot enough to melt the lead and send it to the ground, water from an airdrop doesn't reach the fire!
That applies to a fire hose as well. Some buildings are designed to burn to the ground.

Will we ever learn?
How is it that it takes a disaster to wake people up?
"We keep seeing these buildings go up in flames like this and it's relatively easy to prevent," he said.
"In this building you've got invaluable artefacts and it's so easy to prevent and that's by installing sprinkler systems. People are still building without them and it keeps happening."

Ain't religion grand
What's worse is reporters making assumptions.
The report noted that the arrangements made for anatomical studies were “distasteful at a minimum,” but that the practice of donating “unclaimed” bodies to medical institutions “was legal and commonplace, if not widely known.”
It was known at ground level for decades but if one wanted some serious grief to contend with , just take on the church. Even the bureaucrats & politicians were fearful of them - all the way into the 80's.
Saying that, it was just as bad here in the UK with Catholic schools where the priests & nuns outnumbered ordinary teachers.
