[TheForge] Mercaptan spill

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

Years ago i used a lot of propane tanks in my sculptures and 
fireplaces, so i was cutting them up regularly.
The work yard was right along hwy 1 and tourists could see me 
cutting through the giant bra gates...and smell the stink from 
years of accumulated mercaptan that i'd drained from all those 
old tanks.
Every now and then some tourist would screech to a hault and back 
up to shout a warning. Some would back up a few feet, then think 
better of it and drive away, pedal to the metal. I'd always 
pretend to be hard of hearing ( don't have to pretend any more).
