Well I THOUGHT I posted a reply on here about my Maine relatives, but I can't find it! Cyberspace ate it! My uncle, auntie, cousins, and their kids(2nd cousins, I guess?) make up a good portion of the town of Newport. Anouther cousin and his family live in Auburn, and there's some more vaguely related people in Presque Isle (or is that all one word?). One of my aunties lived in Bath, but she moved to Corinna. I have a cousin in Concord, Mass. he's probably the closest to you where you are now.

Charleston in the Sovereign state of South Carolina here. Seems to me that Scotland and Dixie have the are in the same predicament.. They both need their independence. That is why I have such a love of both. Also, Celtic blood is thick in the South.
I wish to say hi to all my Celtic brethren everywhere.

You should join us in the politics forum you sound like you'd match in just fine. And I'm actually just down the coast from you in Hilton Head.

I agree totally! But please don't leave Eastern Kentucky out if you're talking Appalachian.
You can't beat those Appalachian Mountains!
Hi aklassie, it's good to see you on board again. Believe it or not I was just thinking today of you and Cabbagehome. How's the Grandbaby? I guess she is growing like a weed!

Hi Eawyn, I'm not as far south as you, for some reason though the south appeals to me like no other parts of the US. My husband's ancestors came from Scotland and I have Irish connections. Our ancestors settled in VA. in the 1700's

Welcome back, aklassie!!! How's the little one doing?
Around here, not only is snow a four letter word, but it is usually proceeded by several four letter words !

May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
Ron "McHaggis" Housley here. Living on California's Central Coast just outside of Pismo Beach, The Clam Capital Of The World (or so they say around here).
For a peek go to http://www.classiccalifornia.com and click on Pismo today and then click pier shots to see the beach cam....I surf here between 6 and 7 mornings a week and have done so since 1990. Used to work at Pismo Beach Surf Shop selling sexwax and bikinis and surfboards until the shop closed last year.
BTW: "McHaggis" is the name of an arrangement that I'm working on for the Racine, WI "Kilties" Senior Drum and Bugle Corps (http://www.kilties.com), some old friends of mine.

Well, officially i'm from Idaho (can i get a "what what" from anyone who's heard of it?), about 160 km south of Canada. (I'm sure you've all heard of Canada, but you may cheer for it anyway, if you wish) But right now I'm in school in California. Last year, though, I got to go to school in England--one of the highlights of my rather diminuitive life thus far. I wish i was back...
