*****************************
Fiumicino,

After it winds its way through Rome, the famous Tiber river empties out into the Med at Fiumicino.

It has a fair share of fat floaters leasurely turning and bumping along downstream..sheep, cows, a few horses and the occational dog..We were tied up for repairs [civilian] and they would get stuck 'tween the bow & pier. The perfume was dreamy and it regularly woke the living out of a deep sleep..

..yes sir, [&8x%#!&] I'll git right on it.

#2 There is much more to this. EU states have believed their own Kyoto inspired but unrealistic energy projection, So they are facing a severe energy shortage if cold weather continues. The price of natural gas in the UK has risen by an eye-popping 400% in a month (thats right the price is 5 times what it was a month ago).

The UK economy is heavily dependant on natural gas and faces the real prospect of running out and needing to shut down large parts of industry.

#3 ...good facts to know phil_b, thanks.

natural gas up 400%..would be brutal here [USA]. It should drive the demand down by some measureable percentage though.
