Methane Kills Five In Virginia
Model of Methane Gas molecule:Bridgewater, Virginia:
Five people where killed on a dairy farm in this rural area of Virginia by inhaling methane gas from a manure pit , including four members of a Mennonite family.
The story of how it happened runs something like this ... A worker on the farm was transferring manure form one pit to another when there evidently was a blockage in the pipe at which point the worker crawled down into the pipe and passed out from the odorless fumes.
Whereupon the Mennonite farmer went down the pipe to recuse the worker and fell to the gas in suit, followed by his wife and their two children ... daughters aged 11 and 9.
When rescue workers arrived it was not a rescue but a recovery mission after they had cleared the pipe of methane and the blockage. Family and friends arrived to milk the cows and finish transferring the manure and cleaning up.
CH4 (methane gas) is formed by the liquid manure in the pits (and by other biological elements breaking down, i.e., garbage, lawn trimmings, etc.) and can be very dangerous in an enclosed space... so watch out around that mulch pile in your own backyard if it is under any type of roof to hold the gas close to the ground.

Have you ever noticed ...
Have you ever noticed that the blithering and blathering coming from the right is extremely moronic and infantile?
The left has better minds and better voices and far less idiotic dithering.
As a true Independent Soul, it causes worry and strife to think of the trepidations we have suffered and continue to suffer from the knee-jerk cabal that stole control of this nation nearly seven years ago.
It makes me truly sad that I spilled my blood for this nation and it makes me madder than hell that some idiot (he was Army so it's to be expected) veteran gave that total waste of humanity in the White House one of his Purple Hearts a while back because he was a veteran too, and 'wounded' by all the critics and world opinion of him ... total bullshit!!!!
The shrub is not nor never was a 'veteran' - not one person who was actually in the units he was said to be in remembers him ever being in their unit and 'wounded' by the entire world, well when you make Adolf Hitler look like a nice and sane individual, people not liking you kind of goes with the territory.
(sorry to be late with this rant, but I have a real life unlike this deluded Army Vet and that pile of lying horse dung in the Oval Office).

Morning Funny
My buddy Charles likes to be alone in the woods,
go places where few have gone before and face seemingly impossible challenges.
Unfortunately, he does all this while golfing.

No Joking Matter
You don't joke about bombs at airports and you don't joke when you're standing before the registrar about to say your wedding vows!
That's what a bride in Austria discovered the hard way.
Tina Albrecht, 27, meant to tell her fiance that yes, of course she would marry him.
But when the registrar asked the question during the ceremony, and Tina joked and said "I don't," then corrected herself, it was too late.
Under Austrian law, if either party says no to the key question, the wedding is off for ten (10) weeks, to prevent forced marriages.
"In hindsight, I guess it wasn't so funny," said Tina!
