Venice

 Vajont Dam disaster


In my opinion the best option for energy is Hydro-electricity; after all, nearly every country has a large rainfall; not that HE does not have its downfalls, as the people of Ereto e Casso, a village 62 miles north of Venice found out when the dam nearby brached its banks in 1963.

Due to unusually high rainfall, part of the valley subsided into the dam causing a megatsumani over 250 feet high as the water was pushed into an increasingly smaller funnel and increasing its power. Several villages in the locality were destroyed causing 200, 000 deaths.
The incident occured because the governement and the company concealed scientific evidence that part of the valley was unstable and could collapse at any time.
The dam has since been drained and is now the site of a memorial to the lives lost.

 The lady is NOT my type Though I am olde, and have standards, I am not a stic-in-the-mud, it does take someting nasty to offend me, and for the second time it has happened.  As with the first incident , the offense involved a young colored lady with larrge breasts, I have nothing againsr coloured ladies, I wasbot offended by this laady asking to see my penis as soon as we chatted, it was a little weird she was so forawrd when she'd only been chatting a few minutes to ask. What I found offensive, again, is she assumed having large reasts, and in her case an oversize bottom was what I like In short, she has nothing of interest for me..
