+1 to that. When the last hurricane came around, Blast and I were in the back of a truck giving out water to the unprepared. It got really sour when people started pouring out the water they had simply because they were tired of drinking warm water, and Blast's was at a cooler temperature.

I dunno man, I like to help people, but the older I get the more restrictive I am about it.

Maybe it does not make a great difference, but
1 barrel = 42 US Gal., not 55.

The USCG is expecting to open the Mississippi River tomorrow. Of course, the water intakes of Algiers, Gretna, and Belle Chasse were opened a couple of days after being closed.

All the small towns downstream had to close their intakes as the oil floated down on them and then the intakes were opened up as they oil floated clear within a couple of days.

Yes, but the most common "drum" in the USA is the 55gal drum
