Maddow ridiculed for claiming the hospital ship Mercy was weeks away
Ouch .. weren’t we just talking about Rachel’s journalistic integrity?

Yeah, Stew, be careful with that idea. If it wasn't built to hold gas, it won't have the ability to safely let expanding vapors vent due to pressure / temperature changes. No point in freaking your neighbors out with an unexpected mushroom cloud, right?

Thanks for the advice.. it's not airtight, has a little flap lid on it with no seals... but yeah, i'd rather put in kerosene, really. It never really gets that low, though.
Here in MO people have been ignoring the CDC guidelines. This was the result.
There’s a reason Sherman tanks were known as Ronson’s or Zippo’s because they lit the first time every time. German tanks rarely burned.When we talk about gas -vs diesel for marine propulsion systems, I tell the students "Flip a lit cigarette into a 55-gallon drum of diesel fuel, and the cigarette will go out. Flip it into the same barrel full of gasoline, and you'll get to play a fun game called Shaking Hands With Jesus."
I've demo'd it with a 5-gallon bucket. Of diesel.
I never dreamed I would see it that low again. My oldest daughter just drove from Atlanta to Houston Sunday and she said it cost about $30 in gas.
