Anyone been to Scotland recently?

Going to Glasgow and Edinburg in October

My guy is half Scot. Small amount of fam left. We are going mainly to settle his father’s estate. He died just before Pandemic shutdowns. This is his first opportunity to go.

Meeting a cousin of his and another aunt driving up from England while we are there but I obviously would solicit great advice and destination info from trusted DU family. Ten day trip but 3 ish days in each.

Thanks

Flattop Mountain blueberries!

Spent the afternoon on the mountain picking berries yesterday. These bushes are SO LOW that you practically have to crawl along to get them. But the recent rains made them super huge! Huge berry on a tiny plant. I got somewhere near a pound before my back said no more.

This morning while eating some in my cereal I am pouring over recipes. I want to use them in cooking more than baking. I will make pancakes Saturday morning but will try to use them differently than I usually do when I get wild berries.

Any recipes or ideas would be appreciated.
I will IQF most of them so I can use as I find recipes.

I voted

In my first AK election today.
A primary and a general in one, and ranked choice in the general which included the seat Palin is running for.

2 republicans and a Democrat in the general.

I ranked Palin last.

Len Dawson in hospice care

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34391497/chiefs-hall-fame-qb-len-dawson-placed-hospice-care?platform=amp

Great QB, reportedly the nation’s first sports anchor (didn’t know that) and excellent broadcaster. Feeling for his family and all KC Chiefs fans.

Go Chiefs!

Remember Miles Taylor? Anonymous...Effective Jan 6 witness??

https://www.npr.org/2019/11/14/779321406/in-a-warning-an-invisible-hand-rings-a-somber-alarm

https://www.politico.com/amp/news/2020/10/28/anonymous-ex-dhs-official-miles-taylor-433363


I wonder if Taylor would make a good witness as corroborator of the “real” tRump and his actions in the WH?

Has anyone read the book and have an opinion of Taylor’s role as an “informant” of the tRump administration’s shenanigans?

He was at one time a Chief of Staff for DHS…

Credible witness?

Always a bittersweet end to summer activities for me but love some football!

At Chilkoot Charlie's in AK right now

It’s open mic Monday.
Walked in and caught a chick with a ukulele and a FAB voice. She sang her heart out and then introduced a self written song. It was written because her friend wasn’t going to vote and she was pissed at him! Lol

Great song. Wish I could post … but you could also come here and hear it I bet.

It was part story with ukulele and then went into a rap! OMG! She was literally tapping on the ukulele!
Great! I think she said it was on Sound Cloud - don’t have a clue what that is…

Anyway. Blood boiling song friends!

GOTV
Get out the VOTE!
2022
2024 even more important!
