The Crystal Palace & the Park (Part 2)

By NEILMUIR1
August 24, 2010

I do hope you enjoyed your first tour of this stunning place. Now let me show you what happened on the night of October 30, 1936 as disaster struck. Coincidentally, New York's own Crystal Palace met a similar fate in 1857. There is also a lot more to the Park than you may think. Get your picnic hamper ready and let us see what else we can find in this amazing place.

Dear Cherie, thank you very much. So are you up for this cubits pub crawl then? The details are on this under Charleen's Yeah!
Should be no trouble to you 41 pubs and no half pints allowed! Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing
Lovely to see you back!
What we do with the laptops is to put the vacuum cleaner hose on the air vents (switch it off first), as that gets rid of a lot of the dust etc. The biggest problem is cigarette smoke!
You cannot clean the nicotine stains off the computers boards. Buy an Apple Mac, and you won't get this problem.
Big Hugs.
Neil.

I don't smoke in the house dear friend so the lap top is seldom around that, but with the construction of buildning and adding on to the new shopping center a couple blocks away there is a lot of dust. And with 4 females in the house 3 with long long hair a lot of hair falling around.

Mac;s are way more expensive than my pc. about 400 dollars more.......... Ed says we won't be spending money on fixing this one what do you think he'd say to a brand new Mac at 12, 12 hundred dollars? He'd laugh all the way out the store...

Yes I am up for a cubit pub crawl......oh yes you better believe it.... Rolling on the floor laughing

Did you miss me????? Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing

We all missed you! Lonely here sat in the rain that flooded everywhere. My Mac got through and at least Mac's are American! They do not go wrong and are secure. I have one from 1976 and it still works ,when last years pc's are now being used to make Coke Cans when they blow up!
Regards.
