The Things You Learn from Reading Papers Hanging on the Wall in People's Apartments

My friends live across the street from the Brunstfield Links course. According to the information sheet in my friends house, this course is supposedly the oldest links course in the world, while St. Andrews is the oldest golf course in the world. I'll let my brothers clarify the difference between these two things, if there is a difference.

This course basically sits the middle of the city. The dangerous part about walking along the pathways that run along side and through it is being taken out by some amateur golfer who mistakenly believes the course is driving range, which it is not.

Their not Japanese, but they'll do

On my way to church this morning I took some shots of the blossoming trees. They make me so happy. They are not quite what you can see in Washington, D.C. but I am not complaining. I do so love Spring. I can tell it is here and summer is on the way, because the Earth has tilted enough on its axis that for about 30 minutes every evening, I get sunlight through my north facing dorm window. It also makes me happy.

Well, the Earth's Still Here

So I figure I can post a one day after Earth day post. It's not long, in deference to the electronic trees.

Suggestions for being more green can be found here.

The first three notes...

Because no one really stops loving the Sound of Music:

I don't do a lot of things

like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Digg, De.lici.ous, Fark, LinkedIN, Furl, Ma.gnolia, I like to keep my life on the down low since I started running from "the man" but I think I can get behind this new one:

Trying to Sound Smart - not an April Fools joke

The month April will be spent writing papers, so the posts will be few and far between and here is one of those. This is more to just let you know that I am a live...for now, maybe not by the end of the month.

A picture of the writing space - its not pretty and its not comfortable. You would think for as much as I am paying I could get a decent desk chair.

I did some hiking a couple of weeks ago, here are some pictures from that excursion. The wind at the top of the hills was strong, strong, strong. You had to make an conscious effort to fight not being blown away.

Looking towards Arthur's Seat

Looking towards Edinburgh Castle

The hills we were hiking around had this yellow flowered brush all over them. A sign of spring.

And a picture of a golf course - for my brothers who I don't think read my blog...at least I don't think they do.
