>Just a reminder. Ether is highly explosive and even more so in a confined
darkroom, most of which have minimal ventilation.

>Trivia. Operating rooms in hospitals have floors that have copper
particles embedded in them and the shoes that the OR folks wear have copper
particles in the soles so that they are constantly grounded. This so there

>Trivia II: A friend of mine's mother used to work at the Bermite dynamite
plant out in Newhall California, just north of the San Fernando Valley. All
the women were issued cotton underwear and it was a cause for immediate
dismissal to wear any rayon or synthetic lingerie.
