Thanks Kevin for your sensible list and advice. I definately *won't* bother
with the acid.

and thank you, Roger, for your detailed and wonderful explanation of all
those mysterious ingredients. I always knew I liked chemistry but I never
realized how *fun* it was! :)

I'm sure you're a chemist but what's a "hoosier"? What on earth do you need
*dry* gasoline for? I don't have any teenagers so I'll have to tell the old
farmers that I need the salt peter to slow my husband down. :>

in Vancouver where it *has* stopped raining and where an *eagle* swooped
past my car today! :) We've got blue skys, very green grass, snowy
mountains and -- rain be damned -- I LOVE it here. (Sorry --  had to do
it!)
