things are different here...

The other day, we worshipped at Trinity Parish Church. On the sign outside, is said the church was founded ca. 1140. I think most of the founding members still attend there.

The other day, I read in the newspaper that there is a national shortage of shepherds in Scotland. I've never even met a shepherd, but apparently there are less than 1000 shepherds left in Scotland.

The other day, everyone was making a big deal over the Celtic vs. Barcelona football game (soccer). The game took place in Glasgow--home to the Celtic FC and rabid Celtic fans. But they had to start the game 45 minutes late because so many of the fans were late getting there. Apparently, there was a bad traffic jam outside the stadium when everyone decided to arrive five minutes before the game.
