For a country where it’s supposed to rain all the time, it’s amazing how little it actually rains
If you look at weather.com, the forecast for Edinburgh hasn’t changed much in the past three weeks. Almost every day it says it’s going to rain, but it rarely does. Usually there are bright blue skies. Kinda weird. The Scots, who like to complain, say ‘wait until winter, it’ll be bad then!’ I’ll reserve my final judgment for later, but I have to admit I’m a bit skeptical.
OK, here’s my new trivia question, drawing from Old Testament biblical theology: Moses brought down from Mt Sinai 2 tablets on which were written the Ten Commandments. How many commandments were written on each tablet?

Today’s Cultural Idiosyncrasy:
In Scotland, the word ‘quite’ means the opposite of what it means in the U.S. In the U.S. if I said ‘the food was quite good,’ that would mean it was VERY good. In Scotland the same phrase would mean that food was average, which could be taken as an insult.
