You know, I really am sincere

Journal by fustakrakich

I offer exactly what you already know, and I get nothing but ingratitude.

Well fine, here's the next best thing... After that, you're on your own...

    Oh, I get him. He is like a pane of glass to me. Float glass, like from the old days, which would sometimes have flaws in it, that allowed you to see what was not there. I think it was in the Novel, "Ceremony in Lone Tree", that some one claimed to be able to see buffalo still wandering through the town, when he looked just right through the float glass window of his hotel room. I get that. Don't make it real.

    Time to update your knowledge of glass making, float glass is a fairly recent development,
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_glass [wikipedia.org]

    Between 1953 and 1957, Sir Alastair Pilkington and Kenneth Bickerstaff of the UK's Pilkington Brothers developed the first successful commercial application for forming a continuous ribbon of glass using a molten tin bath on which the molten glass flows unhindered under the influence of gravity.[6] The success of this process lay in the careful balance of the volume of glass fed onto the bath, where it was flattened by its own weight.[7] Full scale profitable sales of float glass were first achieved in 1960.
