Ok, Friday at 6:45 am the call came in. I had to get to California for an HCl spill in Calipatria. Not so bad, really easy assingment I thought. 6 pump stations and 11 real time guys in our loop. I drove the crap out of the rental vehicles. I never realized how fast a Durango could go off road, but man that thing could fly. Got a little rough at points, like the time i nearly went nose first into the irrigation ditch, but I didn't, so I'm pleased. But now I'm in St. Louis, when I'm supposed to be home doing something like sleeping. I'm stuck on the night shift hours and I'm not even tired though I desperately need sleep. Going to go do some push ups and try to exhaust myself into slumber. Hopefully I'll be able to get out tomorrow and see the vinyl acetate and see what that is like. Apparentely it smells fruity, oh boy!
But I gotta get going, must try to get to sleep again. Once I figure out how to post pictures, I have some pictures of the derailment on my camera, not good quality, but pictures none the less. Maybe I'll get some from the digital next chance I get. And one last thing, when a car rental company won't rent a car to an underaged individual, that is worse that eating a kitten.
Later

Makes me wish that there was a spill in Tucson so you could come and visit. Don't think the Echo would do very well with off roading, though.
