So I bought two bottles of scotch yesterday. One is for "everyday" sipping (I don't drink it every day, not even every week so no intervention required!) and the other is for my upcoming 54th birthday. I picked up the Oban 14 for casual scotch evenings and Highland Park 18 for my birthday and other celebratory type of days.

I'm old school so I sipped the Oban while watching my favorite Star Trek series, Voyager. I was pleased with the flavor of the Oban.

I'm very much looking forward to next week when I can try the Highland Park! It will be my first bottle of 18 year old scotch. Has anyone tried it?

Nothing specific, I was looking through the Coletx board and saw this so I was curious. Carry on!

I figure I'll make them as I need them, like I did with the Seneschal badge.  So I haven't advanced this one at all.  If there's one you think I should make a priority, I'd be happy to do so!

How is this project going?

Putting another resolution in the barrel once we are able to handle the vote of confidence in the Governor:

Resolution 2026-02 The Florencia Journal Act

Whereas, a review of the Florencia Wiki page shows no current efforts to record the laws passed by the Nimlet, and

Whereas, it might not be a bad idea to change that, and

Whereas, there are most certainly one or two Florencians with the will and skill to change it.

Therefore, be it resolved by the House of Shepherds of the province of Florencia, that:

A new official journal called the Florencia Journal, similar in form and function to El Lexhatx at the national level, is authorized to be created and maintained.

Just mailed the chain of office which should arrive, just in time, on either the 9th or 10th of January.

@Baron Alexandreu Davinescu you mentioned reimbursement for mailing the chain of office. It was 29 CAD. Please let me know of your preferred transferral method.

Constable, I've not heard from the Governor on the required first item of business in the Nimlet. If that continues to be the case then I will soon be reaching out to you as the next responsible official to ensure government in Florencia is not ground to a halt.

Both Mximo and myself have bills to be considered but are unable to act before we dispose of this first requirement.

Cancer research or humanitarian relief in Sudan might be a good focus for a drive.

@Iason Taiwos Whoever gets appointed, the humanitarian situation in Venezuela also might be a timely focus of a BHAID-Naval Relief Corps cooperation scheme.
