Since mass die-offs of this species have been reported in the past few years in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Wisconsin, that could explain our lack of coots now. Either "our" migrant Coots come from the northern plains or the eastern population (which has always been low) suffered die-offs that weren't reported.

It is a horrible way to die and they always die. The lucky ones get put down. You may have heard about the ticks in Sam Smith. At least one person has been bitten and the perpetrator turned out to be positive for Lyme Disease. Stay on the trails. Don't be a tick magnet. Tomorrow is the Birding Festival at Sam.

CO is bound with the hemoglobin in the blood and will not allow oxygen to bind with the hemoglobin, thus basically one will eventually die from lack of oxygen. Several mentioned that about 10 years ago the federal standarsd for homes was raised, because of too many false alarms for the paramedic units.

The displays also die from time to time. Like the relay, they can be replaced. Bob On Nov 3, 2012, at 6:14 PM, Magnus Danielson wrote: > On 11/03/2012 09:36 PM, Bob Camp wrote: >> Hi >> >> In the case of the 53132, the power supply seems to be the weak link.

ek. Don't know your range, but if you can make it to Hoppies on the Mississippi you will find fuel for much less once you leave Illinois. Most stops on the Illinois were in the $4.65 range although we did not get south of Peoria. Once off Lake Michigan, on the Cal-Sag, there are couple of stops for diesel. If you come through Chicago the first diesel is not until Three Rivers or Harborside. After Harborside, next diesel fuel is in Senaca and Ottawa (Heritage Harbor). Further down, Starved Rock Marina no longer has diesel, although your guide may indicate they do. After Ottawa, you can get diesel at the IVY Club in Peoria (our home port) or Eastport. Call ahead to Easport if river is at or below pool. Channel depths have been issue. Peoria is last avaiable diesel until Grafton, about 165 miles. Hope this helps. -- Ron Matuska Adagio

apacity is increasingly difficult in urban areas: everyone wants better coverage but no one wants the tower in their back yard (even one of the new ingeniously camoflaged versions). In rural areas, it is a matter of number of affected customers and the likelyhood of losing their business. Thus the occasional passing yachtsman is not even on the chart plotter, let alone the radar screen! George ___ Sent with SnapperMail www.snappermail.com
