You Can Take The Pony Out Of Chemical Engineering, But You Can't Take Chemical Engineering Out Of The Pony

The Pony often shares pictures from his route. Monday, he sent this one:


"Recognize why this is moderately concerning?"

"Gas?"

"Gas can next to Styrofoam and plastic baggies. Dissolving Styrofoam in gas is a redneck version of napalm."

"Get away!"

"Probably innocent, but you never know around here!"

Well. Good to know that The Pony's degree in chemical engineering is serving him well in his current vocation. Seems like an odd display of ingredients in his path.

I sometimes read the USPS thread on Reddit. Carriers show odd things left in mailboxes. As if it's bait to tempt them to take it. With the caption: "Not today, Postal Inspector." That's the first thing I thought of when The Pony sent me this picture!

Just tell the Pony to dumb it down if he sees the residents. They might not like how much knowledge he has if they are planning an attack!

Kathy,
Yes, it's best to mind his own beeswax! At least it's not the house where the guy came out carrying a gun that was coincidentally pointed at The Pony's gut.

Scary to think someone might be experimenting or practising with such things.

River,
So odd to leave their combustible ingredients posed like that on the porch!
