I was very sorry about the Notre Dame fire.  As soon as I heard I texted my family with the news, adding “I am not making this up”, because it was so unbelievable.  I also could not help remember my visit to Munich 20 years ago, where the markers for historical landmarks such as the Frauenkirchen alluded to ‘restoration’.  Restoration for what?  Oh, yeah, the Allies bombed Munich multiple times in WWII.  But the buildings were rebuilt.
