    Yeah some of the disposals are getting pretty competitive ..... fajitas, donuts, cold drinks. There's one south of midland with an air conditioned TV room. Unfortunately I'm back in a pump truck so I almost never go to disposals any more.

    I don't know about go carts but if you are up on a tank gauging it to haul the oil or water, take a snort! It will give your brain a kick into another gear. Obviously we don't try to inhale it as it is not good for you but it happens.

    After I did a little reading I was amused to find out some of the stuff benzene was used for back in the day when they thought it was safe- after shave lotion due to its "pleasant" smell, to decaffeinate coffee (Sanka anyone?) and university labs with little to no ventilation.
