Top Ten Livable Countries

Thanks set

feel a little less suicidal now

And yes those Windsor-Saxe-Coburg-Gothas are a laugh a minute. Pity we provide all that entertainment free to the rest of the world at our expense.

But we love ya for it, Boss, truly we do . . .

Are those "Stiff upper lip? Don't commit suicide!" (I'm paraphrasing here) signs still up in the tube?

All these good wishes flowing in from around the world. Might have to go and have a little weep somewhere.

Where's the best weepin' place you know?

Did I say from around the world? A dog bowl and a damp corner? Ugh. Rather have brutal reality any time.

now its way past my bed time. Good night. And for those still at work, get yourself a decent time zone, it bad for you working this late.

ahhhhhhhhhhhh - the original dark, damp left corner, where they have moss on the roof

cooooooooooooooooool

Where is that, patiodog? And the link -- looks like a great Webcam.

right click on the pic LW - click on properties - the secret will be revealed

I was almost certain is was Seattle but where's the link? Is Frazier in it?

View from the space needle -- from kirotv.com, I think. Isn't dark and damp this morning, as a matter of fact.

Lots of talk about scrumptious food , drinks and the like, here. But to reply to the new questions:

My earlier post still stands. Hawaii's got all the delicious food and drink I desire.

1. City in U.S. other than mine: - Lahaina on Maui with hopovers to Waikiki Beach so I can strut in my mumuu. (Changed my mind about the bikini ) Actually, any island in Hawaii will suit me just fine.

1. City outside the U.S. - I've never been outside the U.S. except to Jamaica so I can't answer this one.

2. Country outside U.S. - I wouldn't want to live there, but I love the beaches I've seen in pictures of Greece.

Laguna Beach WebCam as an El Nino storm approaches -- from the Surf and Sand Hotel:

LAGUNA BEACH, ORANGE COUNTY< CA WEBCAM

And from the historic Hotel Laguna -- should be some spectacularly stormy surf over the next few days on both cams:LIVE WEBCAM, LAGUNA BEACH HOTEL

Actually, the first link is switching back and forth from the Surf and Sand to Hotel Laguna.

looks like a sam missile site in cuba

oh no those are people, damn these new specs

It's old California mission style but I could imagine it in Cuba! I assume you're talking about Hotel Laguna.

Several great restaurants on the beach so if you're ever going to travel here, let me know and I'll lead you in the right direction.

Thanks Light

Will get the old bus cranked up and be with you as soon as I can. Might even bring the London Transport omnibus too.

nice to see people strolling along the boardwalk on a sunday morning. they appear to be dressed more warmly than i'd expected. that's what happens when my knowledge about california is pretty much based on the beverly hillbillies.

Here's a webcam view of Sydney Harbour:
