So now, after getting my legs reattached, I got up and moved around for a bit. Whew!

So today I was going to meet Brian MacFarlane in Dumferline where he lives. It was my first meeting of another officer of the Society, so I was quite excited. We decided to get together at 7:00pm, so I figured I'd make a quick jaunt up there early afternoon and look around the town (a lot of historical stuff) before going over to Brian's house. I also wanted to head out early to make sure I could find everything.

Unfortunately, I decided to make some stops in town. Went into this comic store that for some reason is always closed when I get there in the evening, so I finally hit it in the day. It has a wealth of fun products but I was dissapointed not to find a lot of "British" comic stuff. Ended up getting some fun gifts for some friends (you know who you are) and a parking ticket. (What the f-???) So, since I had the ticket, I went and had lunch, bought so more souvenirs, and finally headed out around 4pm.

WHO THE HELL PLANNED THE ROADS?????

I couldn't get on the damn A90! Every time I turned down a street that was supposed to connect on the map, it ended up being a one-way, or not a thru street, or some idiot had put up iron barriers?????? Who does this cruel trick to visitors???? It took me 45 minutes just to get out of Edinburgh!

So I finally get on the road and find Dumferline. It's a nice quaint place. Tomorrow more about meeting Brian!
