Love me some bagpipes.

That said, if you see lazy Barr over there, tell him to get his sluggard butt back here...many days have passed since PDJT unclassified the docs.

Thanks, Conor.

OT, but I see the pipers are from the Lord Selkirk / Robert Fraser Memorial Pipe Band. Just north of us here in North Idaho, is a spectacular 300 mile plus drive named the " The International Selkirk Loop." It traverses Idaho, Washington and southeast British Columbia. The drive goes through the Selkirk Mountains and I've often wondered who Selkirk was. Turns out the mountains were named after Thomas Douglas, 5th Earl of Selkirk, a Scottish peer who was noteworthy as a Scottish philanthropist who sponsored immigrant settlements in Canada at the Red River Colony.

It's interesting that the mountains this far west of Lord Selkirk's land grant on the Assinboine River in Manitoba were named after him.

Mr. Fraser sounds like a wonderful chap, too. He died at age 90 seven years ago.

So you triggered my history lesson for the day! Thanks.
