July 27, 2014: It’s a double-dose of All Things Scottish today, friends. First off, we have Bagpipe Appreciation Day. I know, they’re sometimes hard to appreciate. But when played well, they can actually sound quite nice. secondly, it’s National Scotch Day, celebrating the specific kind of whiskey that comes from the Scottish isles. I’m not huge on spirits in general, and especially the peaty/mossy/dirtlike flavor of some Scotch varieties. Although some others are more along the lines of caramel/vanilla in flavor, which I find much more tolerable.

So just remember, on a day like today: if it’s not Scottish…
