Bowling? That’s what these women chose to do on their night on the town?
The Tree house
Photo Theme. Visit participants. |
This weeks theme is Wooden
This is an unusual tree house.
It’s actually only a few blocks from where we live here in Toronto. It’s south of the Danforth.
Why someone would build a tree house in what looks like a dead try I have no idea. If my memory serves me correctly I do think it was the only big tree in that houses backyard so perhaps that’s why the tree house is there.
If I were a kid I’m not sure I’d like this tree house as much as if it were build in a live tree where my secret fort could be hidden from view.
Squirrels accidently shut off electricity in two cities
Hundreds of Midwestern Power customers and two squirrels were very unlucky one day last fall.
Apparently a squirrel came into contact with an overhead transformer and knocked out service to 177 customers. Power was restored in just under an hour, but naturally the squirrel lost it’s life. The remains were found by repair crews.
Just 40 miles away in Ironwood, Mich, another squirrel got into a substation and caused a temporary power outage that affected 1400 customers.
The power company is now thinking about what kind of steps it can take to keep curious animals away from the lines as they, along with weather, are one of the leading causes of power outages.
“We kind of liken it to anyone who’s had a bird feeder and tried to keep the squirrels out,” said the power company spokesperson. “They find a way.”
Good luck!
