[SEL] scary... you can still buy asbestos...

[Mark Shulaw]

Hi Ron,
  Mercury thats a great Idea! and easier then the way I keep my 
asbestos.  I happened to get a barrel of old oil from transformers years 
ago when they tore the old power plant down,  here in town. I soak all my 
asbestos in that. Also spray it on the weeds in the fence row to keep them 
down too. GRINNNNNN   JUST KIDDING FOLKS   TTYL,  Mark
