    One of a hundred billion, but that's an under-estimate because it does not include "Dwarf" galaxies, and it's only what the Hubble can see.

    American by birth, 110% Texan by the Grace of God. Raised in Europe (Germany, Spain, Italy) now in Ohio as the Texas Ambassador. You'd be amazed at how many of us are up here.

    Finland ( I suppose that´s enough precise ). Oh yeah, we have a huge neighbour country, perhaps you heard about it somewhere; Russia.

    ...view of the 'White Cliffs ...' from the road that runs past the bottom of my garden.

    .. on the left on top of the cliffs is the Battle of Britain Memorial at Capel-le-Ferne . We are regularly over-flown by passing Spitfires, Hurricanes, Lancasters, P-51s ( I kid you not...)..Memorial day this year is 6 July

    Born and raised in Kingsville, Tx. Moved to Harlingen, Tx (where the home of the Confederate Airforce, used to be) moved back to K'ville, then to Beeville for a spell, then to Corpus Christi (which means: "Body of Christ") and soon to be movin' on to H-town, Tx-which is now the ex-home of Astroworld.

    In other words, American by birth, but Southern by the grace of God. ;-D

    Easy, just follow Santa on his way to the North Pole.

    Za should be somewhat more complicated :

    You go, down, down, down, turn at cape "Cod" take the trolley to Fado land, slip over some olives and end up near the Porto vineyards. If you cross some commie religious with Bob Marley dread locks, then you are pretty close.:D

    Wow, I used to live in Enfield and travel through Cockfosters every day to school. It is indeed a wild place, though there was a fantastic deli/grocers on the broadway last time I was there.

    Awe, now, Ron, please don't tell me that on that day that I finally get to shake your hand, you're going to be as unintelligible as my former neighbor who was Cockney. It took me months to get to where I could understand most of her words and she would still throw out a word regularly that I was sure that she had a marble or twelve in her mouth when she spoke it.:D
