We go for dinner to the modern restaurant with the glorious views across the beach. The golfers who flew into the local airbase on their private 737 are also there. They're clustered around the bar in a defensive huddle. A gentleman named Charlie is loudly and enthusiastically reliving the eagle he got on the 14th. This , it would seem, is something he will be bragging about for the rest of his life. Charlie and his colleagues are still at the bar as we finish dinner and leave. Their bar tab is likely to be bigger than the GDP of some small African countries. They seem to be trying every 'Scotch' on the shelves. There will be a few sore heads later on.
Another sign of avian flu on the beach.

Duthie Park blanketed in thick haar this morning. Looking forward to just murk. A fellow dog walker tells us it's sunny in Banchory.
WFT - It always seems to be sunny inland
The porcupine looks almost cuddly.
"A haar followed by murk" is going to stay with me, as is the porcupine.
I recently had one of those $20 Sweetgreen salads. Three college students started the company because they were looking for a fast but healthy way to eat. The salads are big and the ingredients are very fresh. Haar and murk expanded my vocabulary this morning.
The porcupine is wonderful and St. Andrews a place of immense beauty and charm.
The porcupine is so sweet and looks very young, like a baby. I don't think I've ever seen one so close up before.
Sad to see that avian flu is still claiming victims.
Sweetgreen salads are made to order, and mostly taken away to lunch at your desk. Their locations are costly high density city locations and a few shopping malls - very high cost locations. I am not surprised that the overhead results in a loss. I was taught to value a company based on profit, not on growing losses. Sooner or later they have make money, and I don't know if they cut their overhead, if the sales will hold up. There are often lines out the door at lunch time in their Washington DC locations.
