Liberty in Repose
When the heat is on like it has been for the past few weeks I think everyone should just be able to take a holiday like they do in Europe. Entire towns close so everyone can escape the season. The trashmen, the bakers, even the mail service. (ok, well, I'm not sure about that one...) all go AWAY. Or read. Or garden. Or lay in the sun... whatever. Oban, (the town where the scotch by the same name is distilled)....where we were officially married, is one of the towns that many escaped to back when this practice was more common.We need a break that doesn't require a hurricane or snow storm to enforce some stillness aound here. Its too hot! I know, I know...it won't happen. But it should. One sabbath day isn't enough anyway...even the Bible Belt doesn't recognize the Sabbath anymore. Traffic does lapse while everyone is at church...other than that its business as usual.
I am not suggesting another blue law or anything like that...just a well needed break for EVERYONE...how about a paid vacation? I would support any politician who would spend some of our tax dollars on a paid vacation for EVERYONE. It might even help bring the peace.

You got married in Oban, as in Oban, oh my, sigh . . . Scotch? What a clear way to ensure good karma.
So far so good. By the time we found each other we both had a history of failed relationships. This gave us the confidence to do exactly what we wanted and to always allow the other to do the same - as long as our union isn't compromised.
Oban is as sweet and tasty as the Scotch by the same name. I hope we can visit it again next summer solstice for our 10th wedding anniversary.
love your site...
you gonna continue to blog?
