    Polls appear to be the "in" thing these days. Some even lament that they didn't put a poll in their thread. Now as for me, I don't do polls. Create them that is...more than willing to participate. Does that label me as closed minded?

    I don't know. Let's take a poll.

    and if we label you as closed minded, then we get to move the post/thread to the PPB

    I thought only cats brought "gifts" like that to their owners... who knew!? Is this a common occurrence, Fish? What else does the beagle bestow upon you?

    My cats eat bugs...I guess that is better than kids eating bugs?

    Usually we catch her before she gets it in the house. She loves cigarette packs, and tries to smuggle them in whenever she finds one. I think she's collecting these things for herself and not as gifts.

    She's hiding things for the parties she has when you and Mrs. Fish80 and the little Fish80's are out of the house.

    I'll post some of my own photos when I get the chance.

    Wow. I hope you have tons of fun and take lots of pictures. This is where I used to live in Dunoon.

    Alison's is directly across the water from Kilcreggan so, knowing the area, I'm sure you can picture the view I've had all day (despite the clouds coming in over Holy Loch).

    I'm looking across at the lights of Dunoon right now - one of them likely being from your old place.

    Color me officially jealous, Colchar. I spent a semester in Glasgow, had the best consecutive 4 months of my life. Didn't have quite that view, but did have a nice, 3rd floor room on HillHead street (highest point around the Uni), so had a decent view to the City Centre.

    Luckily, Seattle weather keeps reminding me of those days...

    Strangely enough, the cousin I am staying with will be in Seattle next month.

    And I'll probably be visiting some of your old favourites in Glasgow tomorrow as I plan to head into the city for the day (providing, of course, that the rain holds off). George Square here I come!!!

    I am now officially triply jealous of you. What are the chances I can hire to you to go to my old place and dig up my time capsule? Nah, on second thought I need to fulfill that dream with my brother.

    Find any good distilled beverages over there?

    How about any Scotch ales?

    Actually, I've been enjoying the bottle of Gobson's Sterling that I bought at Duty Free on my way over. That, combined with the stunning view, made for an extremely enjoyable day yesterday. Extremely enjoyable.

    How about any Scotch ales?

    I'll get into those today. I had planned to go into Glasgow but it is cloudy, windy, and cold so I doubt I am going to bother. Therefore, needing something to do for the day, I think I'm going to head off to a pub around lunchtime. Some Tennent's Shilling and some McEwan's Shilling are definitely in my future!

    Grab your brother and get on a plane!! We can have a DBR party right here in Scotland.

    If the wind settles down a bit tomorrow I might take the ferry over to Dunoon. It's a little cold today (I'm looking out the window watching the ferry cross right now and trust me, it looks darned cold out there!) so I'll hunker down in a pub for the afternoon but tomorrow is supposed to be nicer so, if I don't go into Glasgow (as I had intended to do today), I'll definitely head over the water to Dunoon.

    Thanks 2535 miles

    Thanks for the info regarding the Western Rat Snake to rid me (...well, not me, but my property) of gophers. I will investigate how to purchase one, or two, or three. (Do they also kill rattlers? Apparently the rattler venom here has gotten more toxic in the past two years).

    ...I was going to add another comment, but in keeping with 'the longest thread ever' will add another post.

    Question Longest thread ever

    I'm thinkin' that this entire thread should be placed in a time capsule and buried in K'Ville. Perhaps some graduate student could base a thesis on it.
