Diesel fumes on a boat can be brutal, too. I remember the only time I got ill on a boat was in Jax while on a large, diesel powered fishing "party boat," and the fumes from the following wind kept blowing back onto the paying passengers outside the cabin. The smell was awful and so was the effect. Blech! -- * Lock up Trump and his family of grifters. * |
