This is not to make light of the bloat situation in any way: In the last two weeks, four cars that live on our 30 acres have had their alternators fail. All vehicles were made by different companies and were of different ages from 3 years to 8 years. None had ever had a problem before. Daughter Cathy thought this was spooky and was asking if there could be anything causing this like "strange emissions" from radio or microwave towers or from high power lines. I just attributed it to end of the year bad luck. Carol ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
