Before and after it became a maximum security prison. <br />3. I've had private tours of the White House and the OEOB (Clinton years). I've also done the standard WH tour too (Carter and Clinton years). <br />4. Not really. In the old hood, yes, but that's pretty much done. <br />5. They're fine, for a while - but I don't seek them out. SO lucky none of our dogs have been frightened by them.

No, but we were with a couple of American lasses on a train in Vietnam many years ago and we bought drinks and snacks and planned a celebration but it just didn't happen as it was 'just too damn hot'. <br />5. Fireworks are ok. We've seen many of them from our home but not since you know what. While private fireworks are banned here, I wouldn't mind if public fireworks were too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16253353.post-30545269088567312032021-07-04T03:55:27.602-04:002021-07-04T03:55:27.602-04:001: Have you ever wondered, if the British would we...1: Have you ever wondered, if the British would welcome us back?
