Were the local "meth heads" lined up with their "buckets"? Just a couple of days ago, a "nurse tank" containing 2-1/2 tons of the stuff came unhooked, and rolled over on the county road only about 1/2 mile from my farm.

I got sprayed in the face once (thankfully not BADLY) when I was carrying an "empty" hose, and accidently bumped the valve against something. I was not wearing face protection, as there was not even a tank on the farm at the moment, and I was not being cautious 'cause I didn't realize there was NH3 trapped in the hose by a quick-coupler at one end, and a valve at the other. That stuff will REALLY clear out your sinuses!
