Between me worrying about all the exploding glass and everyone else worrying about the garage itself exploding (see, I gave him credit for opening all the windows, but then I didn't think it was all in his garage - I thought he said it wasn't - I *assumed* it was in a special gasoline storage bunker on his property), we pretty much had "al baby" in smithereens already! Plus all the little kiddos at the school next door.

If you've ever seen a *real* storage tank on a tank farm, such as those around the Houston Ship Channel, blow its multi-ton top in a fire situation, you'd have seen me cringing here, lol.

I know. Not everyone is really aware of the risks with storing gasoline. I mean, we all have it in our cars, and in gas cans for our lawnmowers, etc., so we don't usually think of it as dangerous.

That's why I was so worried about al and his story. I mean, I can understand how someone might try something like that to beat the high prices.

I'm just really glad he wasn't serious and that there isn't really any danger. It's really important, I guess, to put a smiley face or something on your message when you're just joking around.
