We’re not the only ones who are holding our breath Justin. There’s a Stay-In-Place Warning in effect for places up in Wisconsin, from a methanol tanker truck explosion. Scary situation going on up there for them. It’s telling people in a 8 1/2 mile radius of the explosion to stay indoors and not us ventalion or any form of outdoor use. I wonder about farmers pets?

we can thank our wonderful, environmentally friendly TVA for a lot of it. I’d probably say its the result of their 16 fossil fuels plants. I’m glad NC is taking them to court, maybe they’ll do something about it. Time to go NUCLEAR all the way!!!
