Our governor (and apparently all of his aides) really is out of touch.
And, kids, if you are going to play with acetylene and balloons, don’t dispense the gas from the bottle and then transport the balloon in a car. There’s a reason it should only be transported in an approved container on a properly placarded and licensed vehicle.
Hey, I did the ballon acetylene thing, I even had a dozen or so of them in a clothes basket and moved them across town in the back seat. I think we had static in mind and may have wet stuff down or thought because it was so humid (July in IL) that is would be ok. Thank goodness it was.
The biggest one I did that night had a flash bright enough to trick a street light into turning off that about a house length way from the spot of ignition.
