It is a little odd that the underwater line isn't getting more of a look, given that it is the mid-priced alternative in cost to build (if you believe any of the estimates, which I really don't). Add the 'complications', obviously including caribou bipole disorder, and the watery line looks better and better. I keep wondering if this might be a Manitoba skill set that could be exported to boot (watery line running.)Rod Rougehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12841665544846534543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-77842752585372208612012-04-03T09:01:49.240-05:002012-04-03T09:01:49.240-05:00Never noticed before, The two lines together look...Never noticed before, The two lines together look like the grinch hitch hikingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-12800240417679198072012-04-02T18:57:41.958-05:002012-04-02T18:57:41.958-05:00To expand on that: all DC lines lose electricity. ...To expand on that: all DC lines lose electricity.
