this guy left his window open.

Makes no difference here. They fly on the ether..

Here the corrosion is only evident when they speak since it is all internal.

may have lived near the ocean.

What a coincidence. Here they are concentrated near the left and right coastlines..

I would have taken a more direct approach using a propane torch (wouldn't need the special characteristics of the ox-acetylene baby. Unless I wanted to make spectacular pyro with the cutting head. ;-)

Yes, ‘tis true.

I returned from a late evening safari to Wally World for stuff and upon my return I refreshed the FR page and - there it was..
