Missing Wink discovered............ZZzzzzzz Tape Last updated: Thursday - 16:24 04/20/2000, EST Man Fearing Gators Tapes Himself to Tree TAMPA, Fla. (Reuters) - A man who became lost in a Florida swamp during a trip to photograph alligators was rescued by police after taping himself high up in a tree to ensure the reptiles didn't attack him while he slept. Gemini Wink, 26, of Louisville, Kentucky, was still taped to a tree limb 40 feet (12 meters) off the ground when Hillsborough County deputies found him late Saturday night, sheriff's deputies said on Wednesday. ``The deputies arrived and helped him get down,' sheriff's office worker Vilma Bean said. ``He'd been up there several hours.' Wink, who was visiting friends in Tampa, set out on his alligator trek using duct tape to mark his trail. After taking shots of an alligator Wink realized he was lost and found himself in waist-deep water with night falling. Fearing an alligator attack, Wink climbed a tree, secured himself with duct tape and resolved to sleep there. His friend grew worried when Wink did not return and called sheriff's deputies. Meanwhile, Wink heard noises from a nearby house and yelled for help. Someone at the house heard his cries and also called deputies, who launched a search. With a helicopter overhead and police dogs sniffing his trail, Wink continued to call out. Deputies found him about 400 yards (meters) from his friend's home, untaped him and drove him back. ``I'll definitely visit again, I'll probably stay out of the swamps,' Wink told the Tampa Tribune from Louisville. r

Clappy, very, very interesting. Thank you so much. To have a network where a huge commercial builing can keep tabs on it's elevators, HVAC (air conditioning), security systems, lighting, etc. This is where I see the first jump in ELON's revenues. I guess I am stunned that buildings do not currently have such systems. I have read that this is one of ELON's areas of strength/business, but not been able to address the question to someone "in the know" like yourself. Buildings don't have them, huh? Stunned, Jeff Smith
