There are two events of historical significance happening today.
First, in Scotland people are voting on whether or not the country should remove itself from the United Kingdom. I can’t really have an opinion on this, not being Scottish or from the UK myself, but I think if Scotland leaves it would feel a little like Jack Bruce leaving Cream. Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker would still be staggeringly amazing, but without Jack? It just doesn’t work.
Second, Bruins training camp opens today. The cleansing of last year’s intolerable playoff defeat at the hands of Montreal begins in earnest. I want hockey revenge!
Back to Scotland, the best joke I’ve come up with in ages is that if Scotland becomes independent they should join up with Ireland. They can call themselves U2K.
Get it?
Inside the Red Head's Head 
I’m of Scots descent (on my father’s side) so I guess I feel closer to this than a lot of people. Plus, Braveheart is one of my all-time favorite movies, and although I know most of it is fiction, there actually WAS a William Wallace and he actually DID fight for Scotland’s freedom, along with Robert the Bruce (eventually). So I’m hoping they go with independence. After all, we did it here over 200 years ago, and that turned out all right, right?
