Ive prepared a proposal to NYC , and ATLANTIC CITY NJ, as well as REHOBOTH DEL to tow this berg into a suitble harbor of refuge here it will, by ablation, distribute cooled ater over the surfce and crete a wedge ofreh water nd fog that will serve as a coolant for summer holiday seekers.
Farmerman? That would be a blast! Skiing, hiking, picnicking, and outdoor concerts/movies on an ice berg. Just hope there aren't any stowaway polar bears on board.
That area had not been thoroughly explored before. I had a great-grandfather named Karl Wandel. Probably two different people, but I like to imagine that the families are related.

@Joe Nation,
I think they may have arrived in Scotland via Ireland, but that's not where they originated.

The evidence for Roman and pre-Roman era bagpipes is still uncertain but several textual and visual clues have been suggested. The Oxford History of Music claims that a sculpture of bagpipes has been found on a Hittite slab at Eyuk in the Middle East, dated to 1000 BC. In the 2nd century AD, Suetonius described the Roman Emperor Nero as a player of the tibia utricularis. Dio Chrysostom, who also flourished in the 1st century, wrote about a contemporary sovereign (possibly Nero) who could play a pipe (tibia, Roman reedpipes, similar to Greek aulos) with his mouth as well as with his "armpit".[
Yeah, that's what the Irish told the Scots. "It's this new thing all the Romans are doing."
"Really, laddie?"
"Oh, my yes, here, give it a try. Let me tie up my dog first."
I can play Mary had a little lamb with my armpit.

This shyt worries me...
Greenland Ice Melt, Measured By NASA Satellites, Reaches Unprecedented Level
"...According to a NASA press release, about half of Greenland's surface ice sheet naturally melts during an average summer. But the data from three independent satellites this July, analyzed by NASA and university scientists, showed that in less than a week, the amount of thawed ice sheet surface skyrocketed from 40 percent to 97 percent.
In over 30 years of observations, satellites have never measured this amount of melting, which reaches nearly all of Greenland's surface ice cover. ..."
