We are OK, although the basement is flooded in our rental house, a few miles away. Widespread flooding in our area (Central NJ), however, and a village along the Raritan River, about 3-4 miles away, was evacuated. Lots of fire and ambulance sirens this morning. Many flooded streets; cars

I spent a couple of days sorting out a friend's K100D. Took some test shots at my favourite haunt, Sable Dam in the Kruger Park, only 15km from home. This young Elephant Bull, an Ascari for an older bull, harrassed all approaching vehicles with mock charges & loud trumpeting. Don't be fooled

True. However, there were also Eritrians called "Ascaris" attached to the Italian forces in East Africa during WW2 . My late father fought against them. The Italians were eventually driven out  the SA forces advanced into Egypt. Thanks for looking. Alan C On 02-Sep-21 09:38 PM, Bob Pdml
