Scotland, day 12, I think

Doing some research, I find that it was a Friday. We had breakfast and drove the big dual carriageway. The evening before, we had been going up the valley. Out on the main thruway, we came to the highest point of the mountains, and Dalwhinnie distillery.



They had whisky to sample, but it cost money, and I only wanted one of the three in the set. Besides that, it was before 10:00, so it wasn't on offer yet.

We drove down through the mountains, and took a side trip to Aberfeldy. My dad and I went in the visitors center, but didn't feel like taking a tour, and they didn't offer us any whisky, so we went outside and wandered around the grounds. Very nice.

facebook follies

An engineer acquaintance posted a t-shirt on Facebook, that reads "Wake up smarter - sleep with an engineer."

His ex wife commented "Oh, I so want to comment . . ."


I'm not sure it matters that he was featured in a recent LJ post of mine, about Facebook.

not my Senator

Senator Ron Johnson blamed Obama for not reaching a status of forces agreement with Iraq's al-Maliki so that U.S. troops could remain in the country and stabilize the region.

"He bugged out, I think he always wanted to bug out," Johnson said.


Uh... ya think? Wasn't it one of his campaign promises?
