Re: PESO: Cocky Elephant Bull

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.

Re: OT A rant and an offer...

[P. J. Alling]

I don't need the ink, I'm using a Canon, (insert boom joke here), but I 
had a similar experience a few years ago with a package sent by USPS.  I 
watched as my package left Tennessee, was sorted in Atlanta, shipped to 
New York, got to Connecticut, and then for some reason was returned to 
Tennessee, moved around various USPS facilities there for about five or 
six days, was apparently put on a plane and flown directly to 
Connecticut and delivered the next day.  I actually showed the tracking 
page to a USPS employee and they couldn't explain why it happened.

So far Raleigh has been spared the worst of it. The latest one passed north of 
us, with possible thunderstorms predicted for yesterday afternoon, but all that 
materialized was some light rain last night.

PESO: Cocky Elephant Bull

[Alan C]

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 by his small tusks - he is still a lot of Bull! Some

OK here - in  our immediate area.. all dry again though it poured 
allnight - all the noisy work that was being done outside my building 
over the last few months is 95% done and it resulted in good drainage.. 
but many areas of NYC were hit hard - subway service shut down some 
stations stairs were waterfalls


Dan is likely to have been more affected in his area

Re: OT: DEVASTATING WEATHER

[Rick Womer]

Philadelphia was relatively spared yesterday. I watched the weather radar 
frequently, and we had only moderate rain while areas to the east and west of 
us got torrents.

We’re feeling the effects of the torrents to the west of us today, though. The 
Schuylkill River runs through the city and the rain to the north and west is 
way over flood stage, and it’s expected to continue rising through tomorrow. 
Many roads in and around the city are closed (including the main expressway 
through town), and many neighborhoods along the river flooded. The Delaware 
River is the city’s eastern boundary, and it is already at flood stage and is 
still rising.

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
washed into the streams.  A house explosion in Somerville, about 5 miles
away.
