Speaking of which ......can anyone explain to me how/why the accents of
Craig Furgeson and Sean Connery are so completely different? I suppose it
must
be the equivalent of a North Caroliner and an Alabamer ......

It is only a slight exaggeration to write that wind farms are
described in Oregon's green community as the good witch from the
east, an idea from Europe that is unequivocally good. Here's an
article that describes the fierce controversy about them in
Scotland. Even if you're not interested in the debate, you may enjoy
some of the turns of phrase. I particularly like the names of the
protest groups, reminders of how different English (or Scottish)
English is from the language spoken here.
