We're back from Edinburgh as of last Sunday. Since then work has dominated our time, and so I can only leave a stop-gap entry for my devoted army of readers.
First, a quick word about Edinburgh: do yourself a favor and skip London. Just go right to the capital of Scotland. It is a gorgeous city––prettier than any we have seen thus far. It's a World Heritage Site, and it earns that honor easily.
Second, just when you thought the Irish economic situation looked bleak we get "Black Tuesday". The Irish government has decided to bail out a few (more) large banks, and folks are so angered by this and other revelations that some have accused the current government of treason. Pretty volatile stuff flying around right now. The government has taken on something like €50 billion in debt from bailouts––a tiny amount when compared to the trillions and bazillions the US government has been throwing around. But for a country of only four million that is some serious cash.
