Miche in Dunedin is not that far from the epicentre and would have
probably felt it. But since there were not injuries, we can hope that
Miche is fine.

That's not good. We were without power for around 36 hours last
weekend, but that was due to a nasty storm up here (2,000 kms from the
epicentre). At least we had water (in our two six thousand gallon
water tanks).

No, no interruptions to services in our city at all. Part of
Invercargill (way closer than we are) lost power for a few hours.

Every time I hear "Invercargill" I immediately think of

I'd have to KF 50.2% of the people in RFC to prevent seeing Andy
posts/threads.

Brother, you don't know the half of that. I KF'd shelbrook, and I still
have to hear his noise daily thanks to the number of responders to his crap.

The funny thing about Usenet is that not everybody dislikes the same
posters...

But if it gets on your nerves that much, can't you set your newsreader
to just mark the KF-ee's posts as read (i.e. don't delete the offending
posts) so you can still see who the responders are responding to -
before you actually read the posts? I have mine set up that way. Works
for me.

For a few newsgroups, although not this one, I've had to go with a body
filter to knock out posts with the particular person's attribution
line. I dislike doing that, as it slows down loading significantly.

Here's a thought....stay away!

Why?

We have Sunflower markets here in Colorado and they are a very pleasant
change from the other chains. Decent produce at good prices, more than
a dozen "house made" sausage varieties, good looking meat at average
prices for the area, decent bakery, too.

There's even a US Post Office substation that never has a line waiting.

The only thing I'm not really happy about is the large amount of space
in the store devoted to vitamins and supplements that seem very overpriced.

The meat is always grey/brown. With the exception of their roasted
sweet red peppers and their giardinera, all their house-brand
bottled/marinated veggies/mushrooms are downright terrible. Their
house-made salads are terrible, and the outside dining tables are
infested with flies (being right around the corner from their
unwashed dumpster area).

Yup, we're all fine. All it did was shake a bit where we were -- the
quake was centred in Western Southland, several hundred kilometres away.

New Zealanders tend to be fairly blase about earthquakes. Agent Weasel
was lying awake in her bed (the top of a set of bunks) and just lay
there while the earthquake did its thing. I'd just got out of the bath,
and my comment to DH was "Earthquake! I suppose I should put pants on."

I work for the company that runs the city electricity grid, so if
there'd been damage to the lines, there's a chance I'd have been called
out to lend a hand. Pants would have been a good thing.

Miche,

issued.

BTW, interesting line of work you're in!

Best,

Even the spell checker complained. I stared at the word for a long while and
just couldn't figure it out. LOL!

Some COULD have a scatalogical surname... can't think of one, but what is
innocent in one language can be bad words in another.

Well ... I once said "phooey" in front of a Brazilian girl and got a
slap on the face. I still don't know if it was a bad word in her
language or if she just wanted to get my attention (even though she
already had it).
