Hello; Not sure how to word this so let first say I do not wish to make light of the tragedy for the people involved.
That said my question has to do with the wrecked fuel tanker where a large number of people were killed. I saw a news report that a large number of folks were gathered around the wrecked tanker in the process of scooping up the spilled gasoline that had formed puddles. In the pictures prior to the explosion some were wading in the pools of fuel. The reporter speculated that someone may have had a lit cigarette that caused the fuel to light up.
Now when I go to fuel up I try to go to a pump at the furthest end of the line of pumps. Too many times I have seen some "idiot" gassing up with a lit cigarette. Never mind the large NO SMOKING signs.
Times may be tough enough that some free fuel is worth the chance, but I do not quite get it.
Apparently the police were telling people to stay back but were ignored.
I must question the wisdom of scooping up fuel near a wrecked tanker. ( Not exactly what I want to say, but as my starting statement in this the post I am not sure how to word my feelings.)

Yeah, I was wondering about how important those toothpicks are. I'm doing one without them and I don't it's going well..
That's what I thought, I have some sitting in my hob, it sprouted roots, but now my spuds looks kinda mooshy. It's been about 2 weeks.
Back when I was a kid the sight of those roots in the water used to make me think of worms which disgusted me a little...come to think of it I never saw the point of the whole thing lol.
not sweet potatoes, avocado. suspend the pit in half water with tooth picks to make a tree start.
not done this but told a great way to grow potatoes is in a stack of tires filled with dirt. to harvest pull a tire off.
I'd forgotten about the avocado until you posted it Pops....and interesting technique for growing potatoes.
