  1. Why Would Anyone Come Here?

    The US is shit. Completely. Why would anyone from outside of the US chose to come here?

    Then again, the Scottish soccer fans who came to Boston for the World Cup were an absolute delight. Boston’s fun level increased by at least 600%. Of course they left Boston and went to maga central, Miami where the police cracked down on the fun. You know, like fucking nazis do.

    On top of that, there is the glorious Rush tour. Two Canadians (Geddy and Alex), one German (Anika), and… I don’t actually know where Loren Gold is from. He played with The Who, is he English? He played with Chicago, is he American? There’s this thing these days called “the internet” and I used it to look up his professional website and it says he’s American… so he doesn’t actually count for this discussion.

    What was I saying? Oh yeah, a band with a bunch of non-Americans who have a crew who is probably also made up of a lot of non-Americans. They played four shows in the US and then two in Mexico. They left the country and then had to come back into the country for a show tonight in Texas… and the show has been postponed because of some issue at the border crossing.

    What was it I said at the start of this post? The US is shit. Miami giving the Tartan Army shit? Texas border crossing giving Rush shit? We are so unworthy. The fuck?

  5. This road looks quite different compared to two days ago when we were last here.

    Before the blizzard and storm "dave" 😅

    Power lines are still being repaired, though they are quite quick about it here.

  9. Redcaps are a type of murderous goblin that soak their hats in the blood of their victims. According to Sir Walter Scott’s 'Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border,' “Every ruined tower in the south of Scotland is supposed to have an inhabitant of this species.” #BookologyThursday

  12. @stefanierueckert I love #transition towns! I have been in #Auroville, #Findhorn, #Bokel and one pretty unknown one "near" Hamburg (where I forgot the name - really really small, full of volunteers and they a small nice cafe and some animals around, but I think they belong to some religious cult within the Rudolf Steiner area :D ) so far and it is always a so incredible experience. E.g. my profie picture of a wind turbine is from Findhorn (#Scottland) from 2017 owned and established by the people of this movement, btw nearby in #Forres is one of the few real #organic #scotch distillery Benromach, and funny: I slept in a barrel (in the right one on the picture and on the left side were the hosts - super friendly! He was doing IT (there are lot of people with IT around this town and there were getting more) and she was doing #permaculture). They did a tour on how they build new houses for those new IT people joining this movement - really really interesting. This is how things should be.
