I'll have to use a chainsaw to cut the fallen tree limbs into manageable
sizes before I burn them.  Another one fell last Sunday and it was bigger
than the others.

I'm still waiting.  I have another computer system being build just now, so
I can't afford to even think about a digital camera, altough I'd like to
have one.

 BF> I will send some to you.

Okay and thanks.

 BF> At what age do you retire over there?

A man can retire here as early as age 62, but I think that has changed now.

We put money into a Federal depository here called Social Security in the
event we retire.  There are many more retirees now and many more still in
the working class under retirement age are going into business for
themselves.

I should have thought of that.

Only if the insulation has been chewed on by a bird or some other creature
and then something comes into contact with the exposed wire.

The power company here has no problem finding and fixing anything.

 BF> We see it every winter.

It does snow quite a bit north of us, but having seen it already, I'm not
anxious to see it again.

I wouldn't have thought it snowed there.  Maybe north in Macedonia, but not
the islands.

I think it's called the Sun.  (-:  I have been getting rare glimpses of it, too.

When did you send them?  I haven't seen then yet.
