e-mail woes

[Alan Cole]

For some reason I cannot post or receive from pdml@pdml.net using
c...@lantic.net but all seems to be well from wisselstroom8@gmail .com.
Mails from the latter appear normally on the Empathy Archives & then,
immediately on wisselstro...@gmail.com but only hours later, on
c...@lantic.net.

My ISP tells me that c...@lantic.net is being blacklisted because of
"excessive traffic" from pdml@pdml.net. Resetting the account does not help
because it immediately becomes blacklisted again.

I will contact my ISP again today. If they cannot resolve the problem I
will be forced to unsubscribe from the PDML on cole@ lantic.net

I'm surprised you didn't know about the Big Rubber Duck, since you're

Thanks, Ann.  The outdoor pay telephones are not broken, if that is what

PESO: Sandbathing Speckled Mousebirds

[Alan Cole]

I am posting this tale because I have been having severe e-mail
difficulties of late. Hopefully it will reach the list. If it fails from my
Vox account I will try my g-mail account.

This photo is not of much merit & is merely intended as part of the story.
A heavy crop of a shot with the K5 & Sigma 170-500 @ 500mm. About 10 of
them in that hole. They shot off as soon as they heard the shutter. They
know I hate them & hurriedly fly off whenever they see me!

Growing veg. & fruit in Phalaborwa is problematic because of the Mousebirds
& Monkeys. The Mousebirds go for anything soft, even the hearts of small
Pawpaw trees. The locusts of the Lowveld! Aluminium foil plates hung from
poles helps a bit. The local "swarm" is about 40 strong. The Monkeys love
Avos & Mangoes & even dig out carrots! I grow all the susceptible veg.
