Corner Gas Alas

[ride_4ever]

Got this sad news from dewline about the "Dog River" grain elevator (with which you would be familiar if you are into the C6D TV show "Corner Gas").

Fire destroys iconic grain elevator from "Corner Gas."

Oh no! That makes me sad.

Thank goodness no one was hurt.

This put me in mind of something that happened when I lived in Iowa (way back when). Google "Robin Hood flour explosion." It was caused by a stray spark igniting flour dust. Who knew grain was so dangerous?

So yeah, I did a search on "Robin Hood Flour Explosion"...and then I also ended up reading about how there have been hundreds and hundreds of "grain explosions" all around the country for years and years. *smh*

Oh, no! Not the grain elevator! Man, that's a bummer. I just recently finished a Corner Gas rewatch.

Woooot! Another show we have in common! I did not know that you're a Corner Gas watcher!

And you have an Oscar Leroy icon! *g*

[brumeier]

Oscar Leroy is my spirit animal. ::grins:: I love Corner Gas! ::fistbump::

[ride_4ever]

So much Corner Gas love! *fistbump times two*

One of these days I must get myself a Corner Gas icon.

You're welcome to help yourself to mine!

Sorry to have delivered the sad tidings...and about the sad tidings themselves.
