Just wait - soon the Ham Radio gang you belong to will have a web page and
they will secretly shot the gardens like yours and upload the pictures
there. When I was in school a similar campaign had taken place to the point
that some boys went through school with photographic cameras and pictured
disorders they found. Then they made a big wall-board and put the pictures
on it with a huge title - "Shame upon slovens!" The slovens had been shamed
and cleaned up their classrooms. ;)

I also sometimes think that how wonderful it be to write something by pen.
But alas I cannot find opportunity; I write at so rare occasion that I have
now problems even to put down my signature. ;) My hand does not obey me as
it did earlier. I hope in the near future we all will sign by pressing
finger on a special panel. ;)

 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
 AK>>> some physical exercises on fresh air and take a sunbath. ;)

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

It helps to reduce them when potatoes grow but you just unable to
exterminate them at all. They tough like, I suppose, rats at Homer Simpson's
atomic plant. ;) A perfect construction.

 PC> I like the country too. Even when I lived in the city, my heart was
 PC> country. Rural as far north as possible,   and so camping, the RV
 PC> << fiberglass 15ft trailer towed behind Dodge with 318 V8 motor>>
 PC> got me there!

Wow V8! Like Alonso has in F1. Do you use roads or go beeline? ;)

 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

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

I heard that in some modern swimming suits you are able to be alive in icy
water for many hours.

 AK>> Do some people live all their lives in such homes on wheels?
[Skipped]
 PC> where they might have to pay some taxes.    Keeping the wheels on
 PC> also allow Trailer Parks to stay being Trailer Parks. Students
 PC> used to use them long ago, as cheap residences while going to college.

Yes, it is convenient indeed; although, I guess, they have to go to public
convenience in far corner of the Trailer Park and there is no running water?

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

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

Not very high. We in Moscow region have a week in May with a temperature
above 95F. This was absolute record for all years of weather observation.
Taking in account high humidity it was very hard. As well as you nobody
paid any attention to the prohibition signs.

Bye PETER!
