I am willing to bet they were all democrats. Want to guess why I can easily jump to this conclusion?

On a building site where a gas station was previously situated fifty years prior, the soil was contaminated and gasoline permeated the soil almost six feet into the ground. It did not evaporate and contaminated the soil for fifty years. All the gasoline does not turn to vapor and float away.

Try using “Turface Quick Dry”......works great on infields.

So I searched the interwebs and can’t find what harm would come from 25 gallons of gasoline spread over a large area.

A lot of it obviously burnt off.

Gasoline fumes are harmful to your lungs, but the amount of fumes generated by this after 24 hours or so would be negligible.

Gasoline is also dangerous when ingested, but I don’t guess that anyone would be eating copious amounts of the infield.

While a very stupid thing to do, I think the reaction of an EPA clean up is a bit extreme.

I've been saying that about Viet Nam since the early 2000's.

We came out of WW2 victors and surged in every social development imaginable, including education.

Public school USED TO BE a good education ...... until a TON o' educated white kids went against the government.

Viet Nam thinned the ranks and they SERIOUSLY innitiated the leftist teachers' colleges to insure THAT never happens again.


Fast forward to todays' snowflakes and the occasional educated young folk as opposed to the America that spawned the Bill Gates of the world.

SF Giants used helicopters to dry the Candlestick Park field during the 1962 World Series.

A wet field is why they have double headers.
