Barbra Streisand
in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York, United States
Singer with an extremely good voice and a comical actress. Appeared in "what's up Doc?" and "Little Fockers"
She released many good records with songs that bring tears to my eyes, they're so sloppy, ie. "Memories", "The Way We Were", together with Neil Diamond "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" and many more.

Gruinard Island, Scotland
Officially declared free of Anthrax after 48 years of quarantine
A small island off the south west coast of Scotland. During the Second World War 1942, Britain experimented with methods of Biological Warfare. They used Anthrax on the island not knowing how long it would take to replenish itself. Well it took thirty-eight years. What a proud deed!
See, it pays to read criminal novels, I learned about Gruinard Island from a book written by Ian Rankin, "The Impossible Dead" the second Detective Inspector Fox investigation.

Ride of the day:
Nice and easy, you could say, if you were back alley British "Piece a piss!"
(Oh, 'arold, you are dirty! Anyone remember Steptoe and Son?)
Except for a learning instructor's car that nearly hit me. The instructor himself was driving and stopped only inches away from my left leg. There was no time for shouting a warning, I only managed to get two prayers off, one upstairs to the Almighty and one downstairs to my legs pumping like two steamroller pistons.
Bye for today, more again tomorrow. Keep smiling :-)
I would be thankful for any help with my grammar and spelling, it's not my world.
