    Good read. Thanks, IJ.

    Sounds like a sticky situation (with apologies to South Park).

    It pancaked everything in its path.

      Don’t know why someone would down-vote Yogi for a clever remark such as this. Judge the message; not the man. And don’t waffle, either.

    The story was well written and not tacky

      I don’t know about that Mikey. With all that molasses I would think it would be very tacky.

    I guess some on this forum do not like punny comments.

    Was the tank insured? Did Purity receive any compensation for this event? I just wonder if the end of the war and prohibition may have left them with 2,000,000 gallons of molasses that they were “stuck” with.
