As a youth, I would "hang" at my favorite LHS most Saturday mornings. I got to know the "Seniors," some where colorful characters, and one in particular had a substantial drinking habit. He always had a lit cigar in his mouth as well. Unfortunately, both habits joined on one illfated evening as he was cleaning his locos and rolling stock with gasoline (can you imagine?). I mean, a hurricane couldn't provide "adequate ventilation!" Anyhow, nothing was salvaged from the ashes except the Modeler. He escaped unscathed minus his eyebrows and one shoe which was later found in the debris. Perhaps the old addage, "Providence protects fools and drunks" has some truth to it afterall. When you think of it, this is a happy story.
