Not a good day to leave my scanner at home.

Kinda asinine, isn't it? How many people have been murdered since 1996? How many people are trying to commit mass murder NOW? *rolls eyes*

We must alway be on guard against these kind of attacks.
Most of the hides produced on the US West Coast are shipped to Asia for converting into leather. We usually carried 10 to 20 containers (the're 40' not 41' by the way) of salted hides on the container ships I sailed out of Seattle.
Winter wasn't too bad but summer they had flies.
The hide shippers were supposed to let the hides drain before shipping but not all of them did, and we had the juice running down the deck from some.
We were having corrosion problems because of the salt juice but were told the company made a lot of money from shipping hides. I understand they improved the hide boxes so as not to leak.
We shipped live snakes and eels inter Asia regularly too.
Good catch!
ROFL!!!!

I hope MORE do!

They were made into paper at one time....many, many moons ago (1850's).
