Edinboro Highland Games - This Weekend
Just a head's up for the Western Pennsylvania/Western New York members (and maybe a stray Ohioan or two) -
The Edinboro (Pennsylvania) Highland Games are this weekend, in what looks to be the traditional Scottish weather.

It's a small games, but there will be pipe contests, athletics, some decent vendors, and the guest entertainer is usually quite good.
Hope to see some of you there (I'll be the one in the USAK American Heritage).
I am easily moved for sympathy for dogs, far more so than for humans, because dogs do not understand. There is no way to explain that you will return, that the vet will make it all better, that they cannot go shooting today because that is not what today is about. They cannot work out that their misery is finite and will some time end, and so their misery is magnified.
