Where my blog at?

Whoomp!! There It Is! Time to dust off the blog and start posting some shit.

In the background is Edinburgh Castle in Scotland.  It dominates the skyline of the city.  Archaeologists have established human occupation of the rock since at least the Iron Age (2nd century AD).

Iron for me to dominate

Shanne said I got some dirty looks from tourists.  I ain't trying to disrespect.  Just trying to shoot my load.  Scots are super friendly people and inventors.  Alexander Bell was born in Scotland.  Everyone sounds like Groundskeeper Willie, no joke.

Entrance to Edinburgh Castle.  Asian occupied since 2006.


Off to South Ayrshire, southwestern part of Scotland.  Home of the Turnberry!

 Westside! or is it right side??  Driving on the left side was trippy. 

Not Turnberry

Getting closer

Ahh Turnberry

Interesting fact about Turnberry from wiki.  It was used as an airbase during the First World War, and a landing strip built for this purpose still exists. During this period, the Royal Flying Corps trained pilots in the arts of aerial gunnery and combat, and the Turnberry Hotel was used as a hospital for the wounded.  After the war, courses 1 and 2 were rebuilt and renamed "Ailsa" and "Arran". A memorial to honour lost airmen was erected on the hill overlooking the 12th green of Ailsa and still remains.



Sang serenading Shanne and me outside our hotel room.  Beautiful music suhn!

Turnberry had to be the most scenic golf course I had the privilege of hacking up.  Lost 1/2 dozen golf balls, but birdied 17th (270yd drive, 230yd 3-wood, 2 putt).  Your boy got potential.

 Em rocks used for Olympic curling originates there.  Not much more to say.
