A nitro-powered muscle car of the late 60s, in the style of the
classic Mad Max Interceptor. More light and fast than his brothers,
this interceptor is driven by Scatha Unleashed (driver by one hand,
gunman in the other). So many Scatha's partners has fallen in her crazy
chases. She always calls them Will, so she doesn't have to worry
about the names of her brief companions.

Following his brother's execution, George, 4th Lord Home, appears to have taken over the guardianship of Fast Castle, which he rebuilt in 1521. Fast was too strategically important to the Homes to leave in the hands of his young female and unmarried 2nd cousin.
Around about the year 1532, during a 20 year spell of comparative peace on the Border, said young cousin and heiress, married, as his 2nd wife, Sir Robert Logan, 5th of Restalrig. He was to be the first of three Restalrig Logan lairds of Fast - although he and his son don't seem to have spent much time here, no doubt they were simply happy to collect the revenues and leave other matters in the hands of the Homes.
Robert Logan, 5th of Restalrig died in 1543. His son and heir by Elizabeth Home, Robert Logan, 6th of Restalrig, was aged about 10 by then, and Fast therefore reverted to the guardianship of George, 4th Lord Home. Not long after, that lengthy spell of peace was ended by increasing English aggression, intended to persuade the Scots that the world would be a far better and more peaceful place if the infant Mary, Queen of Scots were to marry Henry VIII's son Prince Edward (later Edward VI) - the period of history known as the Rough Wooing (1543-50).
Shortly before the Battle of Pinkie (1547), George, 4th Lord Home was injured in a cavalry skirmish. While he lay sick at Edinburgh (he died 1549), his wife was forced to negotiate the surrender of Hume Castle, following which his lordship's lands, including Fast Castle, were occupied by the English and placed under the command of Sir Thomas Gower, Marshall of Berwick. Fast remained in English possession until returned by the Treaty of Norham in June 1551.

Fast food - Considering there in a constant threat that a laughing Gull will steal their catch the hand-off pictured here takes lest then a half a second. I have watched the gulls pull the fish right out of the mouth of the young ones. You can see more pics of the Terns here; wklein.smugmug.com/Birds/Royal-Terns/

I woke up not knowing what time it was, or for that matter, what day it was. I looked at a clock and realized that it had only been ten minutes since I was struck by lighting.
Ahh, my head hurts, I need to get a cab.
Crap, I forgot about Iris. I'll just have to tell her the truth.
I got down to the sidewalk and called for a cab. When one came, I waved my hands in the air trying to get his attention, but he kept driving.
"Slow down!"
Looks like I am going to have to run to get my cab.
I started running and before I knew it I was ahead of the cab and down the street.
"The heck? How did this happen?"
Looks like I'm not going to be taking a cab to the theater, heck I don't need to take a cab anywhere now.
"Where have you been?"
I panicked, I couldn't tell Iris the truth now that I have this superhuman power.
"Uh, well, someone at the office started talking to me. I couldn't leave."
"Whatever. Well, we missed our showing of the movie, so I guess we'll have to come some other time."
Phew, that was a close one. I need to figure out what I'm going to do with these powers.
Hey, I think I already have an idea.
Sir Walter Scott, who used Fast as the model for the castle of Wolfscrag in 'The Bride of Lammermoor', never saw Fast Castle except from the sea, yet from this passing view he left two delightful descriptions. Of Wolfscrag he said: "A wilder, or more disconsolate dwelling, it was perhaps difficult to conceive", and when writing about Fast Castle: "Imagination can scarce form a scene more striking, yet more appalling, than this rugged and ruinous stronghold, situated on an abrupt and inaccessible precipice, overhanging the raging ocean, and tenanted of yore by men stormy and gloomy as the tempests they looked down upon."
Anyway, there's nothing 'wild or disconsolate' about Fast this morning! After a very pleasant stop in a campsite just outside Eyemouth, I have travelled back north a few miles to start a beautiful Scottish morning with a walk down to one of Scotland's more infamous castles.
Fast is 3 miles up the coast from St Abb's Head and 4 miles north-west of Coldingham. It is reached via an excellent path from Dowlaw Farm, where there is a public car park.
The European Service Module-2 and Orion crew module adapter for the Artemis II Orion spacecraft was moved into the Final Assembly and System Testing (FAST) cell inside NASA's Operations and Checkout Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA. The spacecraft modules will be integrated with the crew module before being handed over to NASA's Exploration Ground Systems for fueling.
The European Service Module holds 8000 l of fuel in four tanks that is distributed to 33 engines.
The first European Service Module exceeded expectations on the Artemis I mission, powering the Orion spacecraft around the Moon and back on its test flight. It supplied temperature control, propulsion and electricity for the spacecraft. For the two-week Artemis II mission the European Service Module-2 will have even more critical tasks as it needs to supply drinking water and breathable air to the four astronauts in the Orion capsule: NASA’s Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch and Canadian Space Agency’s Jeremy Hansen.
In June ESA formally hands over the European Service Module-2 to NASA, ready for integration with the Orion crew capsule and then on the road to the launchpad, set for liftoff around the Moon in 2024.

My one-year-old niece totally enjoyed her fudgesicle. Fornunately on the beach cleanup is fast and easy.
(She came up sputtering, but laughing!)
Proof positive that marketing works. We kept seeing the ads for the new turkey burger :)
