There I know it is bought straight off of the boat and fresh, and prepared how I like it. Local restaurant there... For locals, no tourists. Gotta love that.

Stopped in Savannah on our way to Daytona last month. Went to Paula Dean's restaurant for her famous Chicken Pot Pie.

All the pleasures of city living in a suburban setting. If I could I would like to return to Germany. I spent 3 1/2 years there and loved the region and its people.

Spent lots of vacation time in Wildwood and Cape May. Love NJ!

My name is keef and I am an alcoh... er... Mac user.

I live and work in the historically disputed area between Scotland and England known as The Debatable Lands (though I'm told that's now been sorted out - something to do with "acting onions" apparently). My interests include current affairs, white water kayaking, sculpture, riding my Triumph Bonneville and cocking a snook at pompous, corrupt and overbearing authority.

I was first exposed to an Apple Mac in 1985 though, at the time, I thought it was a new kind of fortune cookie dispenser. I started using them seriously in 1992, after throwing a networked PC out of my university department window in a fit of luddite rage induced depression. I've never looked back since - I think it was the strain of lifting it.

I now run my own company where every computer is a recycled Mac - they perform every function from graphic and technical design to accounting to communications and publicity. I also use them (running GarageBand) in the production of my weekly show on a certain pirate radio station (sshhh!) - or, at least, I will be again once I've finished my new office.

I'd say it's nice to meet you, but I've no idea who you are or how I got here...

I have lived in Houston since May 2008. I doubt that it is unique in too many ways. It does have a very busy port that is 50 miles from the Gulf, reached through a man-made Ship Channel. Freighters come in close to the heart of the city and turn around to go back out via a Turning Basin. There are free tours of the ship channel, concentrating on pointing out all the heavy industry on each side of it.
Before moving here, I lived in Bogota Colombia. 2660 meters altitude at the city hall plaza. Although about 80 kilometros from the equator, the altitude makes the city VERY cool, with a mean temp of 14.4C. Lots of rain, too. Loads of culture. It could be more unique - whatever that is. It is called by many a city of Maseratis and mules.

I bet you try to get home as often as possible. Bogotá > Houston in my opinion... mucho mas cultura, arepas, y el calor de gente hispana....

31 December in Latin America = one of the greatest experiences for anyone with a heart.
