The Duck is finaly going to Erin

Dia Guit!

Lachan Bui is Irish for Yellow Duck. I've never been to Ireland. That is about to change.

I've been, by turns, ill and injured. I discovered that I am eligible for VA medical. Like a fool, I took advantage of it. Don't, and advise your friends to shun it! I came down with a devastating MRSA infection that took two months to overcome. Just about the time I was getting over that, I went on a motorscooter trip and was struck by a car. That put me in ICU for five days and a month of recuperation.

On the positive side, a friend is going to Ireland and renting a house near Dingle. He offered me use of a spare bedroom. I'm off to Eire! I'll be there 6 to 20 September.

I've got to scout out County Tyrone as well. I'll be traveling light so souveniers must be small.
