Odd #aurora on the go. Normally it's green and on the horizon...and green to the naked eye on a good night. This is very little green, all red, but faint colour (human eye response?) and directly overhead. #Scotland#Astronomy

Aufstehen, Tee trinken und Umgebung genießen, so fängt mein Tag immer an. Ich mag das so früh allein mit der Natur, auch wenn sie nicht immer freundlich ist.
Die Kinder ihre Kreativität laufen lassen und Muscheln gesammelt und bemalt. Da sind wirklich tolle Sachen zusammen gekommen.
The beautiful Ardchattan Priory Garden, near the north shore of Loch Etive in Argyll. Now the garden of Ardchattan House, it originally served Archattan Priory, founded here in 1231 and whose ruins still stand nearby.

The Bass of Inverurie, standing within a cemetery at the southern end of Inverurie in Aberdeenshire: all that remains of a motte and bailey castle built by the Earls of Garioch in the 1100s and used by Robert the Bruce in May 1308.

One clear sign of how ignorant and immature the college protesters are is how they all don't seem to want to be held accountable for the crimes they committed.
I wish that our U.S. campuses would at least still assign students to read MLK's Letter from a Birmingham jail, and Thoreau's essay on Civil Disobedience.
I think these protesters have failed the guidelines of: collection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist; negotiation; self-purification; and effective direct action.
... "United" in the literal sense only since exactly the start of the 19th century.
It is good idea, though, to revisit this thought (I love the map below :) ), as there have been so many changes over the past milennia.
