I did see (forget where - DARN!) my childhood hero (Dr. Werner von Braun, chief architecht of US rocket program, specifically the fabulous Saturn V (and the Nazi V2 for that matter)) standing next to his ponton outside the Kennedy (then Cape Canaveral) main office building. Very cool picture. Perhaps the greatest engineer of all time drove a Benz. :-) P.S. learned a cool new German word: Racketenflugplatz - rocket launching field. Maybe I can label the 240D's section of the driveway with that word. HAHAHA! Chris

Remember, we supply gas to the folks up North. I work for Williams Gas Pipeline, and one of our lines runs from Corpus Christi, TX, to NYC. If there was a major gas leak in a housing development, they would probably shut off gas to the development. If there was a major disaster, such as in New Orleans communities, the gas would probably be shut off to those areas. If there is that much damage, I won't need a generator; I will be gone. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Cathey Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 11:36 AM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT: Genset ...Would not natural gas supplies also be disrupted?
