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

In some way you are lucky, I have to take them down by myself to use them
for fire-wood.

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

They are nice. Just take a pic. and then right in the computer.

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

We can save in a pension fund but now when the stock-marked are going down
we loose money instead.

 BF>> No. The houses are designed to carry it.
 BF>> I have never heard of a roof-collapsing due to snow.

 RN> I should have thought of that.

Like you houses are designed to stand a small earthquake.

 BF>> We sometimes have problem with the porcelain-isolation in the 10 000 V
 BF>> poles. It can crack and then there is a flash-over when it rains and
 BF>> theese problems are very hard to find and fix.

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

 They do find it but sometimes it can take some time.
There are a lot of isolators to go through.

 BF>> It even snows in the Greek Islands. I have seen pictures. I didn't
 BF>> believe it.

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

Be sure I was surprised when saw that pictures.

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

The lamp is lightning here today as well but I'm sure it will come some rain
later in the day. It has been almost every day now as well with the daily
thunder.

 BF>> I'm only surrounded by trees and fields wich you will see on the pics.

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

Right now they are in my camera and I will move them to the computer today.
It has been raining all week and it's not nice to take pics. when it comes whole
water from the sky.
