OK. Only vaguely metalworking related, but not at all political.

I left the valves on my oxy-acetelyne rig on for a week a couple of
months ago. Aside from the fact that I stupidly wasted a bunch of money
(at least they were the little tanks, and one was nearly empty), I also
have found myself _constantly_ thinking of all the jobs that I can _only_
do with that rig, even though I didn't need to do any of them for months.

So, at any rate, my model airplane club's lawn roller broke, it needs
welding and some brackets -- flame cut, of course -- to make it happy
again. So OF COURSE I had to run down and get gas.

Whee hee! I can ignore all those welding jobs with impunity now, because
I can do them any time I want, now!

Why am I not happy that they have found common ground?
