You have to see this modern mess to believe it.
The "spill Proof" safety gas can.
No vent!  So it's safe!
Actually, it vents through the spout.

THE  GREYHOUND had been thrashing about in the north Atlantic storm
for over a week. Its canvas sails were ripped, and the wood on one
side of the ship had been torn away and splintered. The sailors had

home (Penang - the centre of the universe).

My first post to this newsgroup. I have been perusing the posts for several
months now.
I couple of thoughts that I would like some general advice on please.
Within five years I would like to say goodbye to the sod forever.

This bounced to the email on your site and my recollection of your
addy, so here it is in the group, certain to result in another double-

When I returned from my recent cruise there was a boat in my slip - a
very nice Niagara 35.  I helped the marina manager move it to another

another tenant, and it was just staying for a few days.

I'm amused and flattered at the amount of space our (well, of course,
my, as Lydia doesn't post nor write about this sort of thing,
preferring the Sunsets and Animals side of our travels) activities has
generated here.

before noon. A Randalls grocery store building here caved in from the
weight of the rain killing at least one. Wicked lightning. Im in a
channel now and the water is passing under me now at around 5-6 knots
