A weaver friend quit the merchant marines because of an incident. The details were quite real to me when he explained it, but have grown weak twenty years later. He was an engine mechanic, and there were two maintaining the diesel engines on a trip. Something happened that necessitated someone going into a tank of diesel fuel to turn off a valve, or risk the explosion of the ship. They drew straws, he lost. His companion would not let him go because he was a family man and the other fellow was single. The other fellow donned the wet suit and went and and got the job done. But, John always blamed that incident on his friend dying of lung cancer a few scant years later.<br />Or, I have a story of my dad going overboard on an ore boat in the Great Lakes...<br />I suppose hazardous jobs are safer now days. There are huge salt mines under the Great Lakes, for instance, and men go down every day to mine salt. We don't hear dangerous industrial incidents from there. Our Appalachian coal mines, however--another story.<br />Quit if you wish, but I will miss you.
