At a gas field in cetral Arkansas. Gas drilling was stopped for decades because of an incident back in the 1920s.

A gas company was drilling on a farm and hit gas. The well suddenly ignited and there was a column of FIRE coming out of the ground!

All those backwoods hillbillies just knew the gas company had drilled into HELL and the Devil was coming out to get them!

When the well was finally plugged, the company could not get a lease to drill anywhere in the area till the 1990s.

Arkansas is the anus of the United States, excreting the second worst president yet to occupy our White House.

There is a lot of lead in Arkansas. I wonder if they filter their water. It’s a beautiful state, though.
