Pretty place. Will be great when global warming comes along and we can put some hotels up there with beach umbrellas and some jet skis!
Might need something better than a 30 mile long single track road with passing places then.
Scott.
Could always upgrade it to a motorway. Maybe with a bridge crossing to Northern Ireland at the same time?

Anyway, no geese but this lump of machinery passed by, very very slow and very low.
Apparently its 'Stingray01' on it's return to Lossie.
Kind of makes today's financial doings pale into insignificance when these guys are taking care of us.
I got out the car last night to ear popping jet noise.
F35s. 2 of 'em. Real noisy buggers too. Dont stay too long chaps.

Cameras 5 & 9 get hit by the storm surge as it makes landfall, about 4-4.5 hours after the start of the livestream, they reckon the surge was at least 13' as camera 9 was 10-12' off the ground.

Stifling Heat, crushing humidity, zillions of pensioners, zillions of tourists, a fair chance one of Musk's rockets could land on your house, tacky Disneyland tat and not forgetting....hurricanes!
I've never been of course. I did watch Top Gear when they were there though. That told me enough.

Walking? In America?
in 2003 when I and a few Brit colleagues were working in the outskirts of Boston, we decided to walk to a restaurant about a mile from the hotel, we dinnarf get some funny looks.
