14. Yep, all good things to know! I think ground currents are the sneakiest things going. One thing I've

never been in are old underground utility tunnels, like NYC, Boston and many cities. I bet there are a lot of hair raising stories from the crews that work those areas.

I read somewhere about an area where homeowners were feeling tingling from metal ladders in pools, diving boards etc. Supposedly they were bonded and all, but there was a lot of current leakage from the old underground utility wiring, etc. in the neighborhood.

I lost all of my power one night. The utility crew came out and put in a temporary run. The next day they dug up the yard where they had located a shorted line about 4 feet or more underground. They patched it, etc. They said it had probably been deteriorating for 30 years or more ... sometimes cables get nicked they said when housing developments are built and the lines lay there leaking, and eventually short out.

Interesting discussion! Thanks!!!
