If he 'looses' his temper on the 'coffee break' some day, cut him some slack.  Maybe he would have been a 'cranky' fellow anyway, but there is central nervous system damage from the chemicals he came into contact with during the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill cleanup ... and he has to live with hands and feet that won't heal from that too ... most likely Corexit that wasn't supposed to be at the Dayville Road dump for Price Ahtna and Norcon workers to stumble across. www.valdezlink.com/dayville.htm    Know anyone who salvaged boat rope or other 'good stuff' from there?  

Maybe they put their life in danger?

Bags of Exxon Valdez cleanup debris await disposal. 

Much of the debris collected during the Exxon Valdez cleanup 

was eventually deposited in a landfill in Oregon State, 

the closest facility certified to properly handle the waste.

 

On April 5, 2003 Slim called with some exciting news.  

The 'defated' skin from the poison in the chemical he encountered

... has been helped by soaking his hands and feet in seal oil

 

. . . just 5 minutes a day & then wearing latex gloves

 ... also a soar that wasn't healing is now starting to heal.  

 

He says he takes a couple tablespoonfuls of seal oil each day 

& is thrilled with the improvement!
