One thing is clear.  Corbe's weed is a gateway drug on this thread.  Only the second page, and we are already up to acid and smack.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Back in the day in DC, when a particularly high potency batch of heroin would hit town, DC General would begin filling up with overdose cases.  The local news channels would make a public service announcement about the ODs, naming the product (e.g Black Madness) and the area where it was purchased (e.g 7th and P Streets).  Within 15 minutes, every junkie in DC would be at that corner trying to score some of that Black Madness smack.
I remember hearing about a bad batch of LSD called "sunshine pills" in DC and over to the Eastern Shore, where whoever made them up put too much strychnine in them and the trip would last forever...The radio was crammed with PSAs to NOT take them...

They're pretty much all sealed units now.  Haven't checked battery acid in I don't know how long.   :shrug:

Sounds right.  The Hygrometers for the battery and antifreeze were in the top of all toolboxes back then.

They put those stupid bubble eye thingies on the battery's about that time.

edit  I still have a antifreeze reader.  I don't know why in hell...but I do.   I guess I like to see all the balls float up to tell me I am protected to 50 degree above zero!

My brother had those tools, back when cars had points, coils, condensers and distributor caps you had to turn to set dwell (God save ya if you didn't tighten the setscrew tight enough!).  Why did the engine always run like shit when you set dwell to the correct spec for "off dead center?"  Craftsman was the best!

IIRC, R-12 is still worth money (I have a couple of cans).

I know it went from $99/tank to $999/tank overnight.

I preferred the orange, too.  I did the blue microdot exactly twice before I said, "Uh, no."  I have to remember wayyyy back to that Dead concert I went to.
