Gotta be some kilted folks in the area who organize that event.

I'll have to check into the Newport games. Yep the thin blue line.

Welcome back! Moving any distance feels to me like starting over from scratch.... when we moved from AZ to Illinois I discovered that I was getting lost in my house and couldn't hardly get to work without a map. I'm adjusted now as its been a few years now.
