Hello Alexander.,

 -=> Quoting Alexander Koryagin to Peter Coggon <=-

 AK> Hi, PETER COGGON! How are you?

  I am fine.   Fianlly got my garden planted.   Then Maria tookover
and planted the rest, and did a great job.    I only did this
because I belong to a Net on Ham Radio packet, where they have
been putting me to shame talking about their gardens, while mine
has been left to grow into a jungle, of rubbarb and rassberrys
and weeds.   SO this year with all snickers and grins, I told
everyone that I was going to tackle the jungle as soon as the
snow left...which I did, clearing it, and burning the rest.

 AK> Very often I also have shortage of time, I understand. Especially in
 AK> summer. I think when people write paper letters they feel themselves
 AK> more comfortable.
 AK> It took many days for letter to reach the addressee. So, of course, 
 AK> write at any rate you can.

  I like it, but I have just too much going on right now.   Summer
might be here sooner or later, and thats okay too!

As for letters, well I admit I am just one horror story for doing
that., So much so, it must have been a shock to friends and family
when they got Christmas Cards from me, as well sometime afterwards
getting a handwritten letter.   At least a letter can be saved
and re-read at anytime, so much more easlier then this email fad.

 AK>> possible. But now I have bought a chemical designed against this
 AK>> beetle. Although there is no any need to grow potatoes I do it
 AK>> because it is nice to go to my country cottage in spring and have some
 AK>> physical exercises on fresh air and take a sunbath. ;)

  Thats what I forgot for the garden, the Yellow flesh Yukon Potatoes.
Oh dear me :(      Oh well, I guess the beetles will be shocked about
that.  ahahahaha.    

I like the country too. Even when I lived in the city, my heart was
country. Rural as far north as possible,   and so camping, the RV
<< fiberglass 15ft trailer towed behind Dodge with 318 V8 motor>>
got me there!  Also the sailboat too helped years later.
 
 AK> I think that using modern heat proof materials it is possible to
 AK> winterize any cottage even if it is "for summer only". In this winter

Very true.   The materials are getting really better, then in years passed.

 AK> the satellite channel ARTE showed the life of people in Mongolian
 AK> desert. The live in slim nomad's tents, but the winterize them by
 AK> camel's wool fabric. Then they put inside small stove with a smoke
 AK> tube. That's all; but they have frosts their up to minus 40C with high
 AK> speed winds. 

I saw something like that with a documentary with Mr. Palin ... just
amazing.  But then the Inuits of Canada have the same with igloos.
   
 AK> Do some people live all their lives in such homes on wheels?

They do have what they call "Trailer Parks" in North America, but
more frequent in the USA, where they have them for year round residences.
They refer to them as "Mobile Homes" rather then trailers, and while
they have them on concrete blocks and all hooked up like a regular
home, the wheels are left on, to escape some city or state laws
where they might have to pay some taxes.    Keeping the wheels on
also allow Trailer Parks to stay being Trailer Parks. Students
used to use them long ago, as cheap residences while going to college.
 
 AK> We used to "car trailer". Especially after the feature film was shown
 AK> on TV (it was in USSR time) where several thieves (in the US of course)
 AK> snatched the bank armour vehicle and put it inside of car trailer (RV).

  Ha Ha ...that reads like something they'd do...

 AK> Then they for long time tried to crack it, but without success. It
 AK> short they all died; but since then all Russians knew what a car
 AK> trailer is. ;-) 

  Ha Ha..okay neato.

 AK> I think that if the lake is dangerous during hot days it is connected
 AK> first of all  with bacterial pollution.

  On hot days after extended hot days, YES they post a NO SWIM alert
at all swimming areas.   People still go in...and it feels like a
nice hot bath tub.   76F was one reading last year.

  Ok... see you next time.   Off to see the hockey game....well for
a while anyhow..then I will work on something else before turning
in for a good nights sleep.

 ttfn

 Peter
