dave: your continued reference to a can of carbide got me to thinkin...again.

did you ever use a carbide lantern for night spear fishin and possum treein?

i did, and would be glad to tell some stories of life in the wilds of florida and alabama during the 50's, if you and others were really interested in such...however, due to the hostility of some here to yours truly, i do not wish to waste my time, when it is not appreciated.

keep it simple and keep it safe...
