An unusual job opening caught my eye in this weekend – I think I’ve mentioned before that as a child my ambition was to be a lighthouse keeper (probably an escape fantasy spawned by being part of a large, close-in-age family), so the idea of manning the historical East Brother Light Station in San Francisco ...
