Grouchy inspiration We are entering a new era.  I don't really care since I have my defined-benefit pension, but I can't figure out what we are into this time.  As a physics person, I look into fundamental forces.  The dirty thirties had a [...]

Yesterday I showed you two scenes, depicted in two photos each, that I saw on the beach at Machir Bay, Islay, last week. I suggested that it might be fun to compare and contrast them. Scene #1 was this: Scene #2 was this: Scene #1 is a place where [...]
