Looks like global warming is returning Italy to pre-1920's condition.  :laugh:

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Do people smuggle things over the Alps into Italy to avoid customs duties?

I'll bet they think twice about it now!  That can't be the only unexploded ordnance laying around up there......
