Street measures up to new record

Ebenezer Place in Wick has only one doorway on it A town in Caithness is to enter the Guinness World Records for having the shortest street in the world. Ebenezer Place in Wick measures 6ft 9in and has one address, the front door of No 1 Bistro - part of Mackays Hotel. A Guinness World Records spokeswoman confirmed that Craig Glenday, the editor-in-chief of the Guinness Book of Records, visited Wick. She added that Ebenezer Place had beaten the current world record of 17ft Elgin Street in Bacup, Lancashire. 'Great interest' Mackays Hotel owner Murray Lamont said he had always been confident Ebenezer Place would set a world record. He said: "Everyone is delighted. "The street was built in 1883 and people here know about it but I decided to put it firmly on the map. It has certainly become a great point of interest." Mr Lamont said he did not know where the street's name had come from. "It could have religious or Masonic roots," he added.

Rec'd this from a friend online...

When Joni Mitchell was 22, she was a homeless folksinger - the courts took away her 2 year old daughter and the daughter was adopted out. Then Joni Mitch0ell wrote the legendary song, "BOTH SIDES NOW".

One stanza of her brilliant prose...

“Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I’ve looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say
I've changed. Something is lost but something's gained in living every day"

SO FOR ME -- Life is a gift, HOWEVER, it is not a Disneyland ride. No one gets out alive.. spiritually maybe, you be the judge...

Love and much Respect,
