We're getting used to bizarre news but this mornings lead story that the Heritage Foundation wants President Trump to deport Prince Harry for alleged drug abuse surely takes the biscuit. From the ensuing brouhaha I'm guessing that all the figures involved adhere to the view that 'all publicity is good publicity'.
There's snow on the hills to the North of us but on this side of the estuary it's mild and largely sunny. It should be added that the wind has a bite to it that requires a hat and gloves. As we set off down the farm track to the shore the towers of town are just visible further down the coast. A dozen or so Shags and five large Eider Ducks our companions this morning.
England beat France 26-25 in a surprise, nail biting, finish to the 6 Nations rugby match. From four o'clock onwards a large proportion of the students and younger townsfolk are in the hostelries . Scots tend to support the French which explains why there is a large cry of anguish when the final whistle is blown. The pub landlords seem to have had an excellent afternoon.
One of the reasons for moving to a college town was the constant stream of things that go on. We missed this lecture although I had intended to go. It seems a tour of 18th century Vermont politics somehow 'slipped' my mind.
How could I never have heard about Spirit Bears ? :https://environment.co/facts-about-spirit-bears/
This is the best place in the world to see them. Getting there is, not surprisingly, difficult :https://spiritbear.com/

One of my Canadian friends, who vacations in the west, has seen a Spirit Bear - it was several years ago and she no longer blogs, so I can't share her post... but I recall the sense of awe that came with it.
That match yesterday arvo was a proper nail-biter at the end. It's not my natrual tendency to shout for England - but they deserved that win for the determination! Now for the Celtic battle... YAM xx
I also had never heard about Spirit Bears. I'm glad it's very difficult to go where they are. I also hadn't heard the thing about Prince Harry. It seems the Heritage Foundation has been chasing this idea for a while and it has somehow found new legs. You'd think they's have better things to do as they are busy dismantling the government.
If I were England I would refuse to take Harry back and let HWSNBN deal with the fall out.
Living in the US feels much like being stuck in an old Twilight Zone episode where something is deeply off kilter.
I enjoy living in a university town for the same reason you do. Such a variety of programs to reach many interests.
Frankly my preference ( and that of many other Americans) would be for tRump to self-deport, although I suspect his choices of who would have him are limited, the Hermit Kingdom foes come to mind......
