No real reason to post this other than it's a great picture of huskies racing in Scotland
and to change the subject...

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

If we flipped the numbers upsidedown we'd get there quicker... can't do that with the pointy ones :)

And Happy Darwin Day to you too, Ken. Did you do anything to celebrate? Clearly enjoying a lovely day in sunny Glasgow would be a carbon toe print too far....

Yes, I celebrated Darwin day by eating some of a lesser species (meat loaf, actually).

We are having UK like weather here in Florida. Rainy, dreary and cold. Been that way for over a month now, with little let up.

Seeing as the three of us were all off today, we went to Moore's. Sr needed a couple of business suits. Boy, did he look smashing!!!
It was sunny but cold (-13)

Wow! Business suits, eh? I remember those. I still have one but it is so seldom worn it is a worry that it might not fit me when I do need to wear it.

I don't suppose you'll really mind at that point! :wink:

Sr said he decided to get two different sizes so if he "grows" any more, one will still fit. I told him he really ought to get back on his racing bike (said with a twinkle in the eye) because I know neither he nor I can give up chocolate. :D

Dieting tip: Buy a suit exactly the same as the one you are wearing, but 2 sizes too big. Everyone will tell you your clothes are hanging off you! :wink:

winter has really piled on the pounds this year. I'm hoping that running about after a 2 year old for 3 months will shift some of it.
