A Big Decision

   Voters in Scotland are casting ballots today on whether or not they want independence from England, effectively breaking up the United Kingdom after a 307 year union. Turnout this morning was reported heavy, with recent polls suggesting the result is simply too close to call.
   If the "Yes" side were to prevail, it will still take months before the split goes into effect, with Scottish Independence Day set for March 24, 2016. If the "No" side wins, not much will change. Should "Yes" win, Scottish officials say the monarchy would be retained, given the Royal Family's extremely close ties with the country.
   There will still be lots of details to hammer out if the split is approved. There's the small matter or money, for example. If "Yes" wins, they'll no longer be using the British Pound, and will most likely go with a Scottish one instead. In fact, there are a whole lot of things that'll need to happen between now and March 24, 2016. If the "Yes" side wins.
   If the "No" side prevails, it should be business as usual.
   We'll know the answer long before I get a chance to blog about it again tomorrow.
