Looks like even the power cables (which are in the ground over here) can't stand this winter...

I just hope we'll have power back before the freezer de-freezes completely...

it's virtually impossible to bury cable without having microscopic cracks in it. water seeps into those cracks and when there are hard freezes, it plays havoc with the cable. but as the wet doggy demonstrated, you are oh so better off than having above ground cable!

 That would be around 20 kilos of moskitos a year...
Do you know a cheap postal service?
PS Maybe I could train them to fly to Paris?... |
we just need to have every one adopt geckos as pets and hang bathouses outside!

Women! Sometimes there's just no pleasing them!
