My subject line is probably not unusual for the brians of many here. But, I thought this was a fun article and liked some of its suggestions.

A: Toxicity was on my radar. A lot was my wife’s influence. She was like, “You aren’t going to die doing this.” So I bought a good carbon canister mask and a couple of weeks in, I broke it and all this black s— came out of it, and I thought, ‘this was what was going to go into my lungs.’ That was the eye opener.

The black stuff is the CARBON, you bonehead!

Yes, but any man that owns a machete, drinks whiskey neat and spends his time rebuilding things cannot be all that bad.

He must have never owned a pet fish, or maybe he'd know what carbon looked like.
