Jere! It's a pity you have not got broadband yet. Last spring we got a ADSL connection and even if it is slow compared to fibre optics it still is an enourmous improvement to the dial up connection. We know that a large part of the world still have to use dial up so we make our website with that fact in mind. For the moment the web-hotel for our site is trying to sell our URL. They say we have not paid for hosting. We have paid twice but they seem to have huge problems with their economy department. Maybe they still are celebrating the x-mas and new year??? Anyway: I got the idea about your village by combining the terraserver and Google. However I saw something that I actually do not understand. That is the Homer AK Fishing Hole next to the Homer small boat harbour. From a Google photo people have a lot of fun catching fish there and in one end there is something that could be an aquaculture, a fish breeding plant in other words. What on earth is it? Are they catching wild fish or reared? Torsti Borta Med Vindens Kennel "Ask not what your dog can do for you. Ask what you can do for your dog." www.rospigan.net

Torsti, I could have DSL here but I'm too cheap to pay for it. There is a wireless site somewhat more than a mile away and I may try to use that. It is available free as long as one logs on at less than one hour intervals. Otherwise the cost is less than DSL except for the setup charge (for hardware capable of wireless communications at that distance and installation). I don't have a wireless modem yet and I think the distance is stretching the limits of readily (and inexpensively) available units. I toy with the thought of buying one and trying it - or borrowing someone's wireless capable laptop to try. The "fishing hole" is essentially a very small man made bay - a body of water connected to the larger Kachemak Bay. Each spring some hatchery raised silver (coho, or Oncorhynchus kisutch) salmon smolts are released there to go into the N. Pacific and grow up. They return in one or two years as adults and are caught or die. They will not spawn there and none of the Pacific Salmon return to salt water a second (or more) time. They may also release king or Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) smolts there. Both are released in the "slough" which passes the airport here in Seldovia. So, it's a combination of (semi) wild and reared fish. > Jere! > It's a pity you have not got broadband yet.
