Sorry to hear that Abernovo. Sometimes we take so much for granted, and we forget how easily we could lose all the comforts of the modern world. I am glad that you are well though, and glad you have at least that hotspot to come join us here in The Chrons (so far immune to any kind of disaster that I have seen.)

A slightly delayed response form me here, but thanks Nixie.

I knew there was something that was tickling my memory read it, but I would never have placed it in a million years. It's one of those stories that is lost in memory until someone tells you, and then rather fortuitously you remember it!
