That's pretty amazing. East Texas is relatively damp
and green but I've never had moss growing on my ladder-
line. Here, the rain comes and goes and doesn't last very
long.

What do you suppose the dielectic properties are when that stuff
totally bridges the line and is wet?


Sounds like a useful project for someone. The only thing on
my ladder-line at the moment is a green six-inch long lizard
looking at me through the window pane.
