Rainroosty is not here today and I volunteered to stand in. Best wishes to him.
I'm a Brit who has spent most of my life living in the UK, though I have lived and worked in the US, worked around the UK and Europe and have been living in France the last six years.
Given all that I will put a more international flavour (taht's how I spell it!) to things.
Have you ever travelled abroad? Whether you have or not, is there somewhere outside N America that you would like to visit?
What would excite you about travelling abroad? What would worry you?
What is your favourite part of the US, or your home country, if living somewhere else?
How are your foreign language skills?
Any favourite foreign food?
How would driving a right hand drive, stick shift car, on the 'other side of the road' in the UK suit you?
I think that's enough and I look forward to seeing your replies.
Here's a shot taken from our place, and shows why we love it here. Feel free to show any home or travel photos.

How would driving a right hand drive, stick shift car, on the 'other side of the road' in the UK suit you? I could handle driving on the right hand side, turning onto a road would take some brain power to stay on the correct side--but using my left hand for the shift! That would be challenging!

Good Morning, regards to Mr Roosty and his beloved kitty.
Given all that I will put a more international flavour (taht's how I spell it!) to things.
Have you ever travelled abroad? Yes. Whether you have or not, is there somewhere outside N America that you would like to visit? Australia, in particular Tasmania to view the Australis Borealis/Southern Lights. Egypt and Jordan but the breakouts of instability makes it a no go for now, if ever.

What is your favourite part of the US, or your home country, if living somewhere else? We are dual NY/NJ residents. My favorite place is the Catskill Mountains, NY which aren't really mountains but a dissected plateau.https://education.nationalgeographic...ource/plateau/
I don't know how to post pictures, but the Fall season is spectacular in the Catskills. This is almost identical to how our driveway looks in the Fall, the only difference it's ours is on a slight downward slope. Besides that the mountains are carpeted blazing with color: https://www.syracuse.com/resizer/B4M...NWAZJX6NCQ.JPG
How are your foreign language skills? Fluent in 2 languages.
Any favourite foreign food? Spain, except goose barnacles.
How would driving a right hand drive, stick shift car, on the 'other side of the road' in the UK suit you? My wife is a master at driving a stick shift, I leave the driving to her. She's left handed so the right hand gets her a bit nervous. She swiped a gentleman riding a bicycle in Scotland while driving in one of their tight small-town roads she stopped the car in spite of the traffic behind and asked the man if he was OK or hurt. He was rather shocked at the gesture saying it's normal to get swiped by a car what is not normal is the driver stopping and ask if I was OK. I found that funny. I guess one had to be there to see the look on the guys face and wondering if the woman rushing out of the car was going to beat him up
Good weekend, everyone. If the snow is coming by you, again, stay safe and warm as we wait for March to go out as a lamb
