Hi Gil! No wonder our DSL has been squirrely. This place for squirrels is like Australia is for rabbits. Every now and then one of them bridges the electric pole transformer with his/her body and nearly blows it off the pole. Sounds like a cannon shot. I think they do it trying to get high. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
