(4,982 posts)Been chasing my you-know-what trying to get caught up within the nutso timing of news against typical midlife struggles and all. Heard a snippet of this happening today, and I couldn't slow down to look into it. I grew up fairly close to chem plants and this kind of thing hits home.
Thanks for being here. You've helped me catch quite a few important issues that I may have otherwise missed.
