What a shame. Well certainly next year.
Under a fine Scottish summer sky--heavy clouds with occasional bright
spots, also showers--a grand time was had by all at the Portland
Highland Games. Number one daughter did well. Number two daughter put
in a surprise performance, coming in fourth behind: the Canadian
champion, another fine Canadian dancer, our regional champion.
Those of you who share my interest in spinning stories out of thin
source material may want to look at the CARFAX report that is attached
to the web display of the factory armored MB S500 Sports Sedan. I had
assumed that such a vehicle would have been part of a diplomatic fleet
or maybe belonged to someone in the mafia. The CARFAX report suggests
that both theories may be true; that it spent the first part of its
life in Maryland, moved to San Francisco and then--here's the bit I
find interesting--moved to Butte Falls, Oregon.
Never heard of Butte Falls? Neither had I.

I leave it to you to describe the circumstances which cause an armor
plated Mercedes to be owned in such a place. All I can think of is the
witness protection program.
