  1. A quote to ponder. Sadly I suspect that my utopia would be thinly populated with our species. A contradiction to be sure...

    1. Agreed. Seven or seven and a half billion less would be fine.

  2. A quote I am struggling to interpret; but the Abbeye beer looks like it could be good.

    1. The beer is good; now please go on struggling, whilst I am trying to remember what took me to Dalmellington.

    2. I had a look at Dalmellington on Google street view and I am not at all tempted to visit. As for the quote, I gave up the struggle - I can't make sense of it. But you have prompted me to buy some Belgian Trappist beer tomorrow, thanks.
