Absolutely right Norm. Heck, nearly 30 years ago there was a chemical plant
about halfway to Beaumont from Houston that simply took your breath away as you
drove by. I have no idea how anyone could live anywhere near that plant, let
alone work there.
Back in those days I supported my teaching job with a truck driver job, and the
truckers always said Beaumont was like a blind date, you never knew what it
would smell like till you got there.
Of course, many Texans in that region will tell you it only smells like money.

The smell came from two different plants, one called ethal the other
which iam not sure what the name was at that time, but once was
the old sinclare plant from the 1920's which today has been added
onto, is the londale plant. Not sure how the correct spelling goe's
But that plant is a monster. They have crap below ground that
if a single drop was to hit our air, every living thing for miles
and miles would be no more...
How i know this is iam a Union Electrician that took part in
that project, money was great, the worries were hell..
Never knew if you were going home. Seen guys park trucks near the
railroad crossing, lose their truck, job and almost their lives..
That was an awful place to work..
Thank You God iam divorced and dont hafta work like a dog anymore..
The Texas state auto inspection any place west of San Antonio
is a joke.. They dont ck anything muchless know how too..
