• Red Green : Interesting week up at the lodge this week. You know, we've done... All the power went off during a big thunderstorm. So the guys all went out and gathered up firewood so that we could keep warm. And when the power came back on, uh, it didn't, you know? So what happened was, Junior Singleton had cut down a power line pole to use as firewood. So now we're thinking, what else can we use for electricity around here? And we start thinking about Possum Lake. Now, Possum Lake has got so much acid in it. It's got lead, cadmium and zinc. You know, in a certain way, the lake is like a big battery. So we got thinking and drinking, and out we come with all our jumper cables. We hooked up all our jumper cables to the car batteries, we tried to jump-start Possum Lake. Well, unfortunately, somebody had reversed the polarity on their cables, and something real strange happened, and we ended up magnetizing the whole lake!
