20 amp-mains

(And yes, there is such a thing. I was with a church orginzation in Mexico - one of the border towns built up around the factories producing goods for americans, and the houses that acutaly had electricity had out-door breaker boxes mounted on telephone poles - with the mains only able to carry 20amps. Just enough to run a radio and maybe a refrigerator.)

Also, since we're talking about victory, I'd like to point out that England opened up a "whole can of whoop ass" on the USA in the soccer the other night. Today, they beat Columbia - which probably means another round of assassinations. I only mention this because, despite living in the US for 4 years and marrying an American, I'm still an Englishman.
