@pennylane36 Naturalized Canadian, Pennylane, lived 27 years under the heavy dictatorship of communism before 1990 (fall of E EU communism), slowly became pro-American since I was in high-school (that's 30+ years ago), love only TRADITIONAL America and in no way the "Occupy Wall St" left-wing ideology, in time have been in 48 states, by car only, and know about your country, history, christian traditions and obviously politics, more than 50% of American citizens.

@401RoadWarrior There is a huge difference between cultures. The feeling in texas was even different than where i'm from. I loved the strand and the arcitecture. We don't have buildings like that here. I am from a really small town, less than 6 thousand people and no diversity at all what so ever. WE could chat more in private message if u like and not share so much in the public postings. Are you a native of Galveston?

@pennylane36 Interesting life story, Pennylane, but as you obviously know lots of differences btwn Texas and Washington State and I'm not talking about weather here, socially TX is way different than, maybe, half of America, Washington State included, right?

Have a great weekend.

@401RoadWarrior Pennylane name was given to me by a friend in 98 when i got my first computer. Hadn't heard the song before that. I'm a beach girl, grew up on the west coast. Long Beach Washington. My daughter moved to Galveston aug of 08 to be with her boyfriend. She and i drove the 2800 miles from washington state. I was there 5 days and fell in love. Went to Kemah boardwalk & the strand too!. She wants to move back, I'd love to come visit again as well.

@pennylane36 You're very welcome, PennyLane, big fan of Beatles? June and July are the safest (and warmest as well) months to vacation down there, very rarely get a personal "meeting" with Katrina and her own "brothers or sisters" LOL

You stay safe and happy.

Take care.

@401RoadWarrior I have blocked some videos too by the music :-( Here we have luck because there aren't sharks in our waters in the Atlantic Ocean, omg...sharks in the beach...very dangerous

@neptuno338 With Germany is very well known, 'GEMA vs, YT' financial dispute, YT does not want to give GEMA more money per video therefore lots of videos blocked in Germany, but with the other countries, France and the other little ones, that was a big surprise for me, no idea why those 2 songs are blocked in those countries.

Gulf of Mexico has got the most sharks, why? the warmest waters overall, warmer than Atlantic or Pacific, never below 25C.
