On Tuesday, the ferry MV Alfred ran aground. It ran into the island of Swona. Yes, a whole island. People were loaded onto lifeboats, with some minor injuries, but the ferry was able to limp into port under its own steam. This is the ferry I normally take to Scotland. Hunh.
Then, yesterday, a torpedo was found in Scapa Flow. Yes, an actual torpedo. In a body of water less than two miles from my house.
Oh, and Scotland has tentatively picked a date for an independence referendum: October 19, 2023.
Never a dull moment.
