Stirling as readers of this blog know was the key to Scotland; the only convenient gateway between the Highlands and the fertile Lowlands.

Witterings & Wanderings: May 2007
http://cursedtea.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Musings on our world [and my tiny world] from a Scottish quine living in America. Thursday, May 31, 2007. Totally pointless and unimportant. Gwen has tagged me to reveal 8 interesting facts about myself. I apologise firstly - this may turn out to be highly dull and uninteresting as the subject is ME. And bloop, it fell off of its own accord. So that's how I lost my perfect pitch at birth. 2 I have a fear of birds. Flapping birds throws me into a fit of squealing. And rushing to escape. Dazza. 5 Sean Conn...

http://clans.org.uk/lang.html

If you see something, run like hell. Bush does. — October 23, 2006. If you see something, run like hell. Bush does. October 23, 2006. Found this gem on the E train, going from Chelsea to Queens. What was difficult was snapping it on my cameraphone without making the gentleman sitting next to it nervous. Sign alterers took the “If you see something, say something,” slogan and altered it with two neat cut-out replacements:. If you see something,. Mdash; October 17, 2006. October 17, 2006.
