Dietz Lanterns available in the Tidewater Virginia area
After going through Hurricane Isabel I had a lot of people asked me
about the old Dietz Monarch lanterns that we used for 7 days after the storm. I found out that you could not find a Dietz lantern anywhere around here. So I'm going to try and remedy that situation here in the Norfolk, Portsmouth, Chesapeake Virginia area. Stop by and have a look. http://www.angelfire.com/ak/skateworld/dietzlanterns |

ah, that is the difference. you live in regressive Pennsylvania and I live in
progressive NY. It is those poor louts in Virginia at whoo are lost to this world and don't know what a Dietz lantern is, and can't find out the day after a hurricane hit.

Lehman's http://www.lehmans.com/ has these, as well as lots of other
alternative lighting equipment. There is usually a lot of good stuff for boaters at these "off grid" and solar equipment sites. I didn't even know that Dietz made so many types!

"Don White", why is it the you who live in Virginia have a Canadian email address? Relying on Jaxian physics principles and transporter technology (not unlike a TARDIS) Don White has, now, been displaced in time and space such that his Canadian home and property are located in Tidewater Virginia! Amazing! The Jaxian innovations in physics have truly made ALL things possible! Read here how hurricane Juan affected Tidewater Virginia after striking Nova Scotia: http://www.atl.ec.gc.ca/weather/hurricane/juan/ Read here how residents can (using Jaxian technology) shop stores in Halifax, Nova Scotia by merely driving a few blocks: http://www.leevalley.com/home/stores...ID=&ccurrency= "Why is it the you.."??? Goa'uld syntax, perhaps? |

a Dietz lantern to light your way for HOW many days? btw, doonny, have you ever tried to read by light of Dietz lantern? It is like trying to read by the light of four birthday candles.

I think you're getting me mixed up with the original poster. Late in September of 2003 we suffered a direct hit from Hurricane Juan, which should have been classed as catagory 2 strength as it roared through here. See the sites Gene pointed out. I was able to buy a lantern as soon as the stores re-opened...no problem. My street's power was out for 6 days & nights as I mentioned. No, I haven't tried to read by Dietz lantern......I was more concerned with walking around the house without bumping into tables or falling down stairs. We try to be resourceful in this area..vs NY where all goes to sh*t when a little brownout happens on occasion. |

It's gonna get you in the long run....and it appears to be gaining now. I never once said I had anything to do with Tidewater or anywhere else in Virginia...in fact, I've never set foot in Virginia. Closest I got was either flying over it, or along it's coast on the way to a Florida vacation. Now please stop this foolishness! |

"foolishness"? it is you who considers a Dietz lantern (by name) to be a safety item. A candle lantern throws more light, and stores safely and in less space. Get them in any camping supply store. |

Jax, when you post on a subject about which you are knowledgeable, you can
make interesting and informative contributions. Unfortunately, you seem to have a tendency to post on subjects about which you have no experience. Have you ever seen a Dietz 'Hurricane' or 'Blizzard' lantern lit? You couldn't have or you wouldn't make comments like "It is like trying to read by the light of four birthday candles." You must be thinking about a smaller Dietz lantern or have only seen examples with badly trimmed wicks. Certainly it isn't as bright as a Coleman camp lantern, but it less bother to light and silent while lit so I tend to use it as often as a Coleman and I have no trouble reading by it if necessary. -- Ken Heaton & Anne Tobin Cape Breton Island, Canada kenheaton AT ess wye dee DOT eastlink DOT ca "JAXAshby" wrote in message ... there you have it, folks. doony telling use that believes advertising because if it weren't so they wouldn't print it. doony doens't read when it gets dark, it seems.

Used our trusty carbide lamps for light. Not too useful for sailing although they would be useful for JAX (throw some calcium carbide into the bilge to clean it). So why is it that ppl in VA think not having power for a few days was such a disaster? |

gene, you have no reason to lecture anyone on anything mechanical. it took you
yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrs to get a license attainable by 18 year old kids. you still don't count enough to proofread for. gene, you don't seem understand. you are not worth proof reading anything for. No, Jax, *you* are the one that doesn't understand. You aren't proofreading in homage to any reader, you are proofreading in an attempt not too look careless, uneducated, and incompetent to write comprehensible sentences. It really is a message to readers about your character and polish. I can only image that your mechanical ability and understanding of physics mirrors your sloppy posts. Bolts not torqued. Use of pliers instead of a wrench. Hammering things into place. Physics principles used to fit situations that just don't fit. All because you can't be bothered by the details. Without going into the content of your posting, doesn't that about sum it up? |
