    This trip is basically all Kintyre. I’ll keep Ske in mind though. I want to hike the Highlands.

    Skye is awesome too. Different feel than Kintyre.

    That's a sharp and dangerous corner. I hope that you weren't driving (on the wrong side of the road) when you took that photo.

    I have to get back to Scotland.
    I studied in Ireland, but I preferred Scotland (even though I was just there for a short time).

    I've been on that single track road on the Mull. You're out in nowhere.

    I'll be in the land of 10,000 lakes and way too much lutefisk this weekend. Anyone know anything about Rochester?

    ANY lutefisk (lutfisk) is way too much. Even my Swedish grandmother hated that disgusting concoction and never made us eat it.

    The silver lining to my grandpa dying at 96 years old was that we wouldn't have to have lutfisk at Christmas anymore.

    Edit: I will say, he preferred the Swedish-style Lutfisk made from haddock with allspice. It has a terrible look/texture but at least it doesn't stink like the nasty Norwegian lutefisk made from cod.

    Actually, Bridgeview. folks were right. seems i can get a ticket for under 20 bucks witha code at seatgeek or stubhub. perhaps i will see one free on craigslist. How is the minor league hockey team mentioned on ever parking garage but the Fire have not one sign in the airport?

    If you flew into O'Hare, the Wolves (Hockey) are just across the expressway to the north. Bridgeview, not so much. . .

    Well, I'm getting a tour of Glenbrook Hospital tonight. For the last week I''ve been fatigued, short of breath, dizzy & bloated. I know, it sounds like Malort. There's the rub. . . I'm dry.

    Anyway, went to my doc this afternoon who found an atrial flutter. Sent me to the ER. They say it's congestive heart failure and based on my symptoms, they're probably right. So, I get to hop on that merry-go-round. At least I'm here to do it.

    Wouldn't want to miss the Fire winning the World Cup.

    I hope you feel better soon, not long ago I was diagnosed with AFib (both my parents had it) and I'm now on medication to deal with it.

    Take care of yourself.
    Avoid too much ball-sucking for a while. [emoji106]
    Seriously, take care and we hope all goes well.

    You are a lucky man.

    I have been to seven brew pubs in Portland since Wednesday.

    Oh, and the conference is okay.

    I recently bought a piece of property overlooking the Mississippi. It's a little north of Potosi on a bluff above the river road. 30 acres of hardwoods for the price of a condo on the north side .
