Our first end of year storm that is deemed worthy of a name. Storm Ashley. Rain and 80 mph winds are forecast for the West coast but on this side of the country Ashley is merely wet and blustery. This afternoon the storm will have moved on and sunshine is forecast. The strong winds are expected to linger for a day or two.
So starts a quiet Sunday morning in a small Scottish town on the sea.

Is this the first time a 1970s era Vauxhall estate was ever described as the 'star of the show'?
It makes me nauseous just thinking about how much 'sway' the Dubai tower will experience on a windy day. Your rain washed street photo is lovely. And yellow dragon fruit! Something we never see in this part of New England.
St Andrews seems to draw bright people from around the world, maybe I will make it there.
I was thinking that the building in Dubai looked interesting, but Camille has a good point! I don't have any particular desire to go to Dubai, but the architecture is pretty spectacular. The linked article about fluoride was interesting. We mostly took it for granted in the US that treating the water with fluoride was a good thing, and I remember worrying about how to deal with the issue when our kids were small in Japan, where they don't fluoridate.
