{TAP-TAP}. . . Hello? Is this on?

Blogspot seems to have recovered from its "hardware malfunction" whatever that means. The first day down was kind of nice. A guilt-free day off from blogging. Now after two days the little pocket notebook is filled with ideas for posts, most of which no longer seems like such a good idea and a lot of the rest of which is illegible.

But there is some good ephemera from the summer season of Highland Games:

Mr Best Dressed at the Celtic Fest in Glasgow, Kentucky. [All together: "Aawwwwwwwww".]

A "convert" from the Seattle Times.
