OK, Chuck - I give. How did you happen to discover the fire-resistant properties of truss poles? -----Original Message----- From: Chuck Hards [mailto:chuckhards@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, December 29, 2003 4:35 PM To: Utah-Astro Subject: [Utah-astronomy] amateur astronomy, zen, & power outages If anybody is checking their email on a cell phone or laptop, huddled in the cold & dark, just say the word and we'll get you some relief somehow. We lost power Friday morning at 9, didn't get it back until Saturday night at 7, 34 hours. House internal temp was about 48 degrees by then. Isn't it amazing how your spirits can soar just from the sight of a lightbulb lighting up? BTW, truss poles don't burn, and the shroud makes a lot of stinky smoke...same with laminated atlases. Only use the plain paper ones. ;) C. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!
