I think Ed Smyth MD knows much more than I do, and from a variety of sources, including RN Glory Lane who lived in Canyon 94516 for 4 years when I did, and thus potentially from RN Lois Aldrich who has lived in Canyon since the late 1960s I think. 

As I emailed my mother about your email -

"I also got an email back from Don Tatzin, a California senate volunteer in the district 7 office, a MIT ALUM and a former mayor of Lafayette, California (near Canyon 94516), in the 1980s I think, sounding a bit like the way MIT's Cecilia d'Oliviera, a first director of MIT OCW, signed off on an email once ... 

"Thanks that was my guess from looking at the message

Sent from my iPhone

Please forgive Siri’s errors and mine" 

... Am glad to have heard back and am wondering if he's referring to t wylie's heinous criminality? .... Hoping so ..."

Thank you, best regards,

Scott

Scott,

I'm doing fine. A few warm days here in Maine after lots of rain. Our son Kenneth got married 2 weeks ago to Chiara Marin in Italy. It was a wonderful event. They just moved from Oxford back to Edinburgh, where they met.

The merge suggestion is interesting. Based on DNA results, we are in fact descendants of Torquil Og MacLeod, b.c. 1320, who was a grandson of Leod and the 1st chief of the MacLeods of Lewis. Raasay MacLeod descend from Lewis MacLeods.

I'm off to the MacLeod Clan Parliament on the Isle of Skye in 2 weeks where I will give a talk on the DNA of Clan MacLeod!

I see you're moving back to California!

BTW, we are planning a MacLeod family reunion at the lake here in Maine on Aug 3, 2024.

All the best,

Mark

Congratulations to Kenneth (your middle name namesake, and mine too) and Chiara ... Edinburgh sounds like a beautiful and great place to live - and where they met. (I've lived 2 full years in Edinburgh, at Fettes College for a high school year, and at the Univ of Edinburgh in the School of Celtic and Scottish Studies) Glad you're doing well! 

Interesting Torquil MacLeod (abt.1295-abt.1380) and (abt.1240-) WikiTree merge proposal ... I'm against it (as a voting democrat) ... but that's not part of this WikiTree's well coded wiki process...  (It just occurs to me that going back to these centuries with these Torquil MacLeods in WikiTree ... that I might newly be able to follow my ancestor's Chadbourne line back from Sarah Bolles to Edward I ... Also re my mother's father, my grandfather, Alexander Chadbourne Brown, aka grandpa Sandy Brown, here's how he was connected to Benjamin Lincoln, who accepted the sword of surrender from the British in 1781 in the American revolution - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2023/05/yucca-flower-nm-new-mexico-state-flower.html which I blogged about on July 4 2023 here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2023/07/red-poppy-al-national-flower-of-albania.html - but to which I'll add this genealogical line as a further resources). Are these Torquil MacLeods in your favorite genealogy platform Ancestry .com which you use so remarkably ... even so far as flying to the isle of Raasay about 2 years ago, and getting MacLeod genetic samples, and then having them analyzed in Texas where you've lived before too ( quite a while before you moved to Newfoundland, Canada, and most recently to Portland Maine)? How to bring the 2 platforms together in a generative genealogy knowledge conversation for research ... and possibly when Ancestry innovates again significantly (with talking ancestors' avatar bot electronic medical records - of our ancestors from their DNA?:)

Mark, I was wondering this morning if you ever engaged in the Clan MacLeod parliaments ... Don't think I've ever been to one, but was a member of a Clan MacLeod association particularly in my teens for a couple of years ... Around age 12 I even wrote to Dame Flora MacLeod of MacLeod in Dunvegan on the Isle of Skye asking how to begin to play the bagpipes, from New Haven, Connecticut - and she wrote back :), suggesting contacting Seamus MacNeill in Glasgow who started the College of Piping, and was an author of the College of Piping's Green Tutor Vol. 1, which I used to begin piping with (... and 2 piping albums later - in 2020 and 2022 ... on the Scottish small pipes ... both accessible here - http://scottmacleod.com/piping.htm - (for free)) ... 

Please say hi to Mrs. Tammy Vawter  ... Mrs California MacLeod Pacific on Skye if you run into each other (and above, and who also knows A LOT about MacLeod history:) ... & who's great and is at so many games in California making the MacLeod Tents happen ... 

Good to learn of the MacLeod family gathering on Bonnie Eagle lake on August 3, 2023, Mark. I'm moving out of 210 East End Avenue, Pgh, PA, my asylum place in PA from CA since September 2, 2023 - to move back into a newly safe Canyon 94516 on September 1, 2023 potentially, but don't know yet what my plans are in the first week of August

As aye,

Scott

Greetings from the Jim Shorkey Toyota waiting room, and nice to meet you. 

Thanks for the tire rotation, Steven, after my 5000 mile Maintenance Required light came on recently. And thanks for letting me know that I didn't need an oil change after all, re what Deborah here said on the phone yesterday. 

Looking forward to staying in communication about Toyota Humanoid Robots like THR3s when they become available - per our conversation at the desk.  

A further question - when do you think Toyota ProAce Electric Autonomous Vehicles (adaptable as Camping Vans) and even with a shower nozzle spigot off the back of it will become available in the USA - 2024? 2025? Ever? 

Thanks, Scott
