Not 'gargoyle' but 'finial'

You learn something new every day. What we mistakenly called gargoyles are actually finials. (I’ve corrected the caption on the photo – in case you don’t understand what Christine meant.)
Christine took that photo on a finial-photographing expedition with Zachary and a friend from his class in school, on Zachary’s birthday a few weeks ago.

Thought
Dr J. O. Wisdom … once observed to me that he knew people who thought there was no philsophy after Hegel, and others who thought there was none before Wittgenstein; and he saw no reason for excluding the possibility that both were right.
