a city bike, a Diamondback iirc
I really like it
plus it was a HoME book and I'm very protective of them 
and it's sunny again (well as sunny as it can be while the sun is going down)
there was a bit of lightening in the sky out my window (as in getting lighter, not the counterpart to thunder) pretty much right when I entered Gondor, which was cool

The mountain bike or hybrid form?

I was a road racer so I used to sneer at mountain bikes but each are very useful depending upon what you're gonna do with it. I've mellowed a bit w/age!
<chuckle> One wouldn't want to cross you, I expect. 
Now we just need Magpie or some similarly clever sort to unfurl a banner for you! Oh well. Welcome anyway! <Urges horsie> On Multiplex! <Canters towards the ship for Tol Eressea!>

I still ride Raleighs from habit, though mine too is a hybrid design, though not hybrid off-road/road but hybrid racing/touring. I really do need to get a pure touring frame now.

A solid *whap* from a Scots lass is probably the MILDEST thing I could expect! But if you're REALLY going to claim the leathernecks as "we" then maybe... Naw! Even I won't go THERE!

And the daughter's name: Meribor.
And the mere mention of this episode, makes the melody that Picard would play on that flute play also in my mind...I can almost make out the entire tune...do you hear it?

That cousin's had offers from the other branches! As a family, we're equal-opportunity when it come to the military, though, so we're quite ready to kick some arse.

Where did the real one end up, after it was retrieved from wherever it was those students took it to (some church somewhere, I think?)?
Considering the widespread immigration of Scots to Ulster and then the States, and the Highland Clearances, 'tis no surprise we Rednecks (the term is Scottish in origin) outnumber those who stayed behind.

My favourite nuncle was Army, Korean War vintage, my Da was Navy, also KW era, his Da was Army between the Great Wars, a few cousins that I've not kept track of (not 1st cousins), and myself AF, so the only service we DON'T cover are the Marines.

You can bring home the bacon, and he can cook it!
It's good to see him developing a knack for cooking at a young age, he'll end up being healthier because of it!

Actually, you have Google to thank, for being able to pull up the episode description right away using just "star trek next generation alternate flute picard"!

displaced Scots were well-known for their large families!
(My dad was one of 13...)
I like Bobbie Burns best of all.

One of my ancestors is a woman who was born in this country at the end of the Revolutionary War, and although I haven't been able to pursue her ancestry further yet, there are intimations that her line goes back to the Swedes who immigrated to Delaware.
But the braid itself is a recipe my mom found years ago, and was called "swedish" because of the cardamom. I've modified the recipe over the years to its present form.

His cousin in this area chose to make his political cracks with a homemade cannon. He returned from the battle of the Brandywine, but his wrought-iron cannon did not.

That was one of my favourite episodes (who says guys only like blow-'em-up shows?) LIP It DID, however, distress me greatly that many, MANY episodes of STTNG, Voyager, and DSN would tout what great warriors Klingons are and then promptly have Worf get his BUTT handed to him!
