12. Thanks! Are you a curler?
We still have 5 1/2 hours to go until the new year.

I ask about curling since you live in the birthplace of the noble sport and I have a weird desire to see the quarry that is responsible for all the stones.

30. I confess that I am not...

I didn't even know that curling was one of ours! I thought it was from elsewhere in Europe.

13. Here in SF we still have 5 1/2 hours left of 2008
..and it's 60 degrees, so I can't jump into the foray of "mine is colder than yours".

I was in Loch Ness and Edinburgh twenty years ago January--man, I froze to bloody death! In the 70s I spent 5 winters in London, but Scotland is C O L D.

Drink whiskey and stay warm!!! Auld Lang Sine, and all the Robbie Burns New Years odes, my Celtic friend!

33. And a Happy New Year from where a bunch of y'all landed!
The Great State of Arkansas, where thousands of Scots settled from the middle 1800s because life was just too soft everywhere else. Thanks for bringing that whisk(e)y and them fiddle tunes with you!
