Tall brick buildings

[mtbc]

On the way east into Edinburgh, one can catch sight of the tall red-brick warehouse building marked Jenners Depository. This reminds me of a different tall red-brick warehouse building that my memory places on the way east into Truro along the A39. However, some looking online fails so badly to find anything of the kind that I have probably somewhat misplaced it. It's some consolation that some further poking around online reveals that what I saw on the train into work recently was Niddry Castle.

Here in the Pacific Northwest we're waiting for "the Big One" (earthquake) and so any brick building is a hazard, and those of 3+ stories are certain to be heaps of rubble. Castles are way cooler than warehouses, but just as susceptible to tremblors.

My people are terribly backward, and I apologize for the behavior of my president and congress.

Ah, yes, earthquake-proofing is an interesting constraint, good point!

I figure every country has quite a mix of voters, it's just that some subgroups overwhelm others in terms of gaining power (especially now thanks to the electoral college, and spineless Congress!). Thank you for reminding me to send off my FVAP for the midterms though.
