    We've no problem being called Scots, just so long as you call whiskey "whiskey" and not "Scotch". :)
    Surely we should all be calling it whisky!

    Hi again

    Sheilz, I have a european style plate on the front of my car that looks like yours. It is not real, but looks extremely cool. I got it on the internet from a place that makes license plates from all over the world. In America, you are stuck with whatever license plate number you are given. However, for a fee you can have vanity plates made up. Of course, the fee in New York is highest in the nation. That being said, on my other vehicle, I had my plate changed to "1PETER13" (biblical reference.

    Queens has it's crappy areas, but it's not all bad. I have been stationed in every boro in my career, so far I like Queens best. The area I am in currently is very much unlike what you see on the screen.

    Peace,
    Rich

    Actually, it is supposed to be the first letter of Peter, chapter 1, verse 3:
    "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in his great mercy gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead"
