    Please tell me why they would allow a chemucal plant on a body of water?
    I lived next to a chemical plant. It was moved to the country because it had literally blown up in the City of Buffalo. So it had all separate specially designed buildings, fenced and razor wire around the compound. Brightly lit wind socks because... They would burn the waste chemicals, next to a small town. They had their own fire dept and local was not allowed. So every once in a while a building would blow up literally shaking you out of bed, I know first hand. Lucidol was it's name.
    So chemical plants are sorta dangerous, why risk water contamination?
    Serious question do any of you know?

    Likely need the water or something in the water as either a raw material or its a waste product (e.g. Maybe used for cooling).

    Ya I figured, but after writing that I looked up Lucidol which changed names. Apparently they had to do a clean up. I had turned them in way back in 1982 for having a bulldozer buring 55 gal. Metal barrels right on the bank of the Genessee River. Nothing happened after that that I knew of. Companies are companies and nope should never be trusted to always do whats right.

    Then looking Sky Watch from May 2020, must be a hard pill for the global warming crowd. Becuse the Sun is in an inactive period. A period that can and has caused problems on Earth. Problems such as:
    Severe electrical storms
    Global...wait for it...cooling, thus crop damage world wide. Hhhmmm snow in summer in China???? Wierd lightening storms?

    I was wrong other day, painting sucks worse than welding ha. But got it all done. Doesn't look best and need to do some door adjustments but there's plenty of other body work to do so it's all gonna get repainted eventually. [​IMG][​IMG]

    So I get home from work and there is a package by the door, nothing strange about that my neighbors mentioned the parade of delivery trucks that come to the house every week. Anyway the wife gets home and she is all excited, she said I bought a new vacuum, that's nice dear. She opens the box and pulls out the box the vacuum is in. I see the box and it says Dyson on. I know nothing about Dyson vacuum cleaners only I have heard that they are expensive. I told her I do not want to know what it cost, and she is going on about how good they work. She vacuumed with the old vacuum then whipped out her dyson and vacuumed. Have to admit the dyson got a lot of stuff that the old vacuum missed. She was not impressed when I told her that she could have saved a lot of $ and just vacuum twice, it's good exercise. Never suggest to a woman you love that they could use more exercise. Then again it must have turned her on a little bit because once again when I was walking away she said what an ass.

    These are not my guests they are my wife's friends, and certainly not my grandkids. I don't really like other peoples kids, especially when they come to my house.

    Gotcha that is a damn good idea, will at least bring some satisfaction to half my weekend being taken up by people I would rather not have to deal with. Tennis ball cannon, lighting fires with a magnifying glass, blowing things up with fire crackers. Tell them I will give them 20 bucks to get in the water and pull lake weeds and only give each one $10.
