Folks,

The traditional Continental and British Lowlands holiday of Martinmas falls
on this coming Tuesday, November 11 (being a quarter day in Scotland), which
also happens to be Veterans’ Day in the United States.  I wish everyone a
pleasant holiday.

Below are a few links to web presentations that inform about Martinmas:
