 Sk> driveway (gravel road). If any of you guys ever visit this part of West
 Sk> Virginia. That's where I live ;)

you know... if i can deal with the totaly exaggerated entry paperwork for the
US i will visit your place. i know on the frontdoor with original german beer
;)

i follow now for weeks WCVB bostons local tv-station. it's very heavy... also
carol (from batlenet) wrotes yesterday, i guess, a mail that she is facing in
some circumstances with a power outage.

in germany most of the people are not heating with electric. most uses
natural gas, teleheating and the cool oldschool way like skuz it does with
wood-fired heating.

so if a power outage happend, the most people kept her warm ass :)

and there's a another point i can't explain by myself. may be some of you
guys can explain me, why the hell the most powerlines in the US are unearthly
and not in the ground, under the street?

it's on every heavy-weather event that the powerlines cuts down, the
transformators gets damaged and by strom winds the powerlines lie on the
streets and be a safety hazard for people.

as i grow up i lived in a very small village (300 lifes including all cows*g)
and we also had the powerlines hanging in the air from house to house. but in
the mid 80s (i feel so old everytime i write this) they bring the lines under
the streets. and i guess in very big cities like newyork the powerlines are
also under the ground.

but germany is facing also a power blackout on the next solar eclips on march
the 20th. in germany at a sunny day we produce about 400MW in a minute with
the sun. the powernet will be lost and raise up a big amount of power in this
time. and the electric companies are informed via media that many customers
had to deal with a blackout. and we can't buy some power from our neighbours,
well they also had the same problem. my bbs had a power-emergency-system also
all telephone hubs, and cellphone radiotowers in germany had this too. so the
bbs maybe still working at this time.

it could be a good idea to calculate the complete power-usage of all the
bbs-stuff and plug a fat solarpanel on the top of my garage :)

and skuz is a lucky man he can walk around and find coal! all i found are
mushrooms and couples having sex in the woods X.x also a kind of warming up :P
