Hi, PETER COGGON! How are you?

Hardly it is possible because there were a lot of such people. Can you
imagine, for example, that there was a task to make a thick isolation
concrete floor  UNDER the destroyed reactor? There was a dange of leakage
of the highly radiactive materials deep into the ground. It would spoil the
underground waters of all the aria. And people understood that the work must
be done. And they had done it.
I just meant  that it cannot be one individual who heroicly fight disaster
of
such a scale. Although it could be individual who could prevent the
accident.
If a good scientist, who understood the reactor, had presented during that
fatal experiment he would have prohibited it. Yes, it was not a technical
failure, but a human failure. Any safiest device can become dangerous in
human hands.

AK>> Do you have a lot of mosqitoes in summer?

PC>   I call the mosqitoes  "flying teeth".  Yes we have them, but the
PC> lake breezes and cool breezes keep them away from me.  There is a

PC> keeps them at bay, so is better not having to buy the cans of anti
PC> mosquitoe sprays.

A special diet against moskitoes?! Very cool! May be you share a recipe?
Although I heard that people of countryside are bitten by moskitoes more
rare than town-dwellers. There is something  that countrymen could secreted
instinctively. ;) So indeed very often we can see that when two men fishing
the moskitoes can say who is a townsman. May be it  is true another guess,
that moskitoes had bitten countrymen so often that they understand when
countrymen say the sacramental phrase of Mowgli: "We be of one blood, ye and
I". ;=))

AK>> What? You clean the coastal effects? I did not catch it. Say it in
AK>> other words please.

PC>   Close to shore, when in a boat , the shorline acts to change
PC> direction of air masses, as well the shorline, repels any wave action.
PC> Close to shore, the waves comeback off the beach and hit the incoming
PC> swells and they combine, thus if in sync we would get a larger wave.
PC> With winds coming to the shore, they can be deflected either way, thus
PC> causing readjustments or trim of the sails.    I always like
PC> offshore sailing, then being too close due to the rough waters,
PC> and during a storm if I can not get into harbour, I will ride out
PC> a storm well off shore.    Coastal effects in a storm are multiplied
PC> many times,and the combined wind and wave actions are big plus to
PC> tell anyone to weather out the storm , well off shore.

Yea, you are a pro in this business! I only went on a pair-oar on the lake
in my town. ;)

AK>> Ontario lake.It will be 170 miles distance. ;) But I did not
AK>> understand exactly, can you get to Huron lake?

PC>   They do  have a series of canals, to give me access to Lake Ontario,
PC> to the south, as well the open sea, via a few interesting routes.  For
PC> Lake Huron, well I think there is a way and you end up in Georgian Bay,
PC> one part via a marine railway system.    The idea of course is to buy a
PC> season ticket for the canal system and then plan the trip, and where to
PC> spend the night.    The canal is very busy, and you do need a crew.

You call them "canals": do they human-made?

AK>> As we say in Russia "the process is life the result is death." ;-)
PC>   Perhaps Russia also started something I always seem to say ...
PC> " You are born to die. "

The phase, I mentioned, is very popular in science. ;-)

PC>   I am planning my trip to see relatives in Scotland and England
PC> and France soon.   We would like to see as much as possible and we're
PC> looking into how much time we'll have, as now with this United Europe
PC> experience, and barriers coming down all over the places, I guess the
PC> train can even stop in Moscow or Pejing, with if all happening so fast.

I think that it is not important where are you going, but it is very
important whom are you going to travel with. Most pleasure is inside the
train. ;)
By the way do you speak French?

Bye PETER!
