Quote of the day

 

From a reader over at Larry Lambert's place:


"I like to think that my Scots-Irish ancestors came to America in the early 1700s because it later gave them one more chance to shoot at the British."


Now why is that so instantly believable?  Could be because I have Scots and Irish ancestors as well . . .

Bred nd raised in Appalachia.

Proud of every bit of it.

I sympathize some for those still in not so great briton, but, they only had a few centuries to see the writing on the wall.
