Good friends are like gold. So sorry, Iggy.

Great news about KK. Thanks, CH.

I surely hope you are right about Brexit, C.

Jimnj, you seem just fine to me. Especially the dive into military stuff we don’t pay enough attention to. Every time someone puts an apostrophe before the S where it doesn’t belong, I think of daddy. (Belgian’s eat well)

Happy birthday, MM. Thanks for the links.

Maroon! SBW, I stand corrected.

The average American is personally responsible for melting 645 square feet of Arctic ice every year How many cubic feet is that? What a moron.

Ahh,duck duck gave more info.

What kind of boat?

Cool, MT. Would love to meet her. Last Saturday I let off the dock lines as my boat motored out of the Pocasset River with her new owner. They spent a day or two in a Connecticut port where the new owner’s brother joined to work on the Diesel engine. They sailed through New York harbor yesterday and are somewhere off the N.J. coast tonight. Destination a creek off the Potomac River.

Yeh, I don’t get the vice versa part of that comment at all.

OL, I am watching the same storm on Cape Cod Here to hand over my sailboat, Italic. She has been in my life for 27 years. Buyer from the Potomac River. I hope he is not a Washington lib. Sipping High West American Prairie Bourbon. Distilled in Park City and available here on the cape, just down the road.

Lyle, don’t make any plans for the day after the second shot. I felt like I had been hit by a truck. E also was in bed for most of the day after. Unheard of. But worth it.

We should all be so lucky to go where our good dogs go. I am so sorry, Lili-Beth. Thinking of you and your family.

Rocco, so sorry for your family’s loss. Having the care of loving daughters made her passing easier, I am sure.

Lili-beth, your best yet. LOL!

Thanks for posting that Yon info, Clarice.

Rocco, your comments and insights are much appreciated. Have you had time to fish?

Trust me, Jane is the same in person and online. As are the many others I have met. Come back, Lyle and Extraneus.

Jack, our tour had a choice of six or ten courses. We did the six but the ten did include Machrihanish. Sorry we missed it but ten would have been too many for me. We played Gullune (sp?) 3 with friends prior to the tour start at St. Andrews. Gus, no on Iona. I would love to return to Scotland.

Frau.

Lol, Steph. Yup.

Back from my honeymoon having played golf at seven N Ireland and Scotland courses. And toured an old distillery in Campbeltown. Kingsbarns was my favorite. It was all wonderful.

My favorite memory of 9/12...Mrs. MT’s sign CZARS CZUCK. The bad thing about the Kindle is you can’t see what people sitting in the deck chairs are reading.

Mike in Houston, thanks for those tips. Excellent advice. We made it to Edinburgh but our two golf bags and two suitcases are still somewhere in the BA system. Our small carryons had mostly our devices and their cords and converters. We are happy about that, but no pjs and clean underwear. And I have no jacket. We are staying near the Castle so will follow your plan from there down and try to get the Arthur’s Seat hike in later in the day tomorrow. Ya’ll take care of things while we are out of the country. By the way, we couldn’t find a place to watch The Open this evening. We were amazed.
