A few years back the frau and I were trying to decide between The Orkneys and The Shetlands for our vacation to a barren rock in the North Atlantic (see also, N. Ireland, Iceland).
We ultimately decided on Kirkwall in the Orkneys because of all the murders DI Jimmy Perez and his team investigated, almost always involving a foreigner in some way.
Nice Norwegian (mostly) boy here who once was married to an Ashkenazi woman. I liked gefilte fish. Am I the only one? Or is it just because it isn't lutefisk?
Erik, thanks for another great piece of history. Without knowing the back story it would be startling to be labeled a radical Communist for supporting Card Check.
From what I read, he both shot and stabbed Frick, so I gotta give him an A for effort. Nobody expects Rasputin in Homestead, PA in 1892 for chrissakes!
I hope Erik doesn't mind, but I would recommend reading "1919-The Year That Changed America" by Martin Sandler as an in-depth account of the year 1919 and the numerous anti-progressive events/laws that it inspired. With special guest J. Edgar Hoover who infested America for 50 years.
A fictionalized version of Emma Goldman occasionally appears in Toronto on the TV series Murdoch Mysteries, usually pursued by a treacherous American secret agent who inevitably clashes with Canadian authorities. It's interesting to read that she did eventually settle in Toronto in reality.
I'll be in my bunk, seizing the means of production.
They are like matzohs. They never rise.

Edit: next one is going to be PEI
Does anyone have any idea how many children out of wedlock BoJo has? Does he?
Hoover learned that lesson by the time he went after Fred Hampton.
Because of advice like that!
For Oscar trivia buffs: Mareen Stapleton won an Academy Award for portraying Goldman in Reds.

The last loaf of bread I ever baked after finding out I (still) had celiac disease, was a loaf of challah, which I didn't get to taste. :-(
Don't forget lying to get that genius visa!
Oooh, the setting of "Anne Shirley, Forensic Investigator."
