I grew up near Midland, Michigan ... home of Dow Chemical Company. We lived probably about 12 miles upstream on the Tittabawassee River from the plant, and I can remember going out the back door to school in the morning and the smell would sometimes be enough to knock you over. My dad used to say, “Well, Dow’s making money this morning ...”

Worse ~ I grew up on the East Side of Indianapolis when most of the homes used coal furnaces. But that was nothing compared to Sundays when Eli Lilly would boil the horse urine over at their downtown headquarters.

Lilly has a lot of urine to boil. You can ask Mitch Daniels about it.
