Over the Pond

Still May, but cold as a witch’s…broom stick.
When is it good to carry a few extra pounds? When you’re in the UK, because dollars are all but worthless here. (Well, yes, they are worthless at home as well.) But here is something to cheer you up…gas is now near $10 a gallon over here and rising. That’s mostly TAX, as it is in California. And yes, they have their own oil in the ground. And if that isn’t depressing enough…here in Scotland they want to raise the taxes on booze so high that it stops binge drinking. Like a binge drinker couldn’t find, buy or steal enough booze to binge. Well, that’s it! I am not going to start binge drinking in THIS country.
And don’t even get me started on the Parliment’s vote on Savior Siblings genetics. I’ve taken it on the chin from more than one sibling and I can tell you it’s NOT FUN! So I vote NO. More later I have to go research the “Bowls” not cereal…bowling. A bit like Bocche,and billards all-in-one. More on that later..
