Today's local newspaper contains a boating-related story that challenges
my
belief that people do possess some degree of common sense. Three employees
of a New Hampshire marina were trying to clean up gasoline that had
spilled
in the cabin of a Baja boat, using a wet-or-dry vacuum cleaner. A Fire
Department captain said "When they turned the vacuum cleaner on, there was
an explosion". The three employees, all in their twenties, are
hospitalized
with 1'st and 2'nd degree burns. The owner of the marina had no comment,
and
ordered the media off his property. Probably a good move, but I doubt it
will save him.
