Edinburgh based Partick Thistle fan. Member of the anti-growth coalition. I like football, beer, books, & active travel. Trillionaire, for what that label is worth.

A suburban sky looking SW showing hazy high cloud and wispy low cloud that is obscuring the current partial eclipse. Admittedly it's a bit less bright than it should be right now, but still a celestial disappointment.
An empty bottle of Kloster Andechs Spezial Hell and a pint glass full of golden beer.

Me at the football enjoying another satisfying Partick Thistle victory
A small car approaches down a road wide enough for three cars. The road on this side is lined with safety barriers. One part of the barrier is bashed in from impact.
What was the sheep's clothing that the wolf wore? You really think it was made of wool? It was made of words. The loudspeakers said Ba! Ba! The wolf claimed he felt like a brother to all sheep. Thd few who said 'he looks like a wolf to us' were called subversive. The newspapers said Ba! Ba! Ba! And so the wolf was called a sheep and that's all the disguise he needed.
