As the exhaust plume from the largely-uncontrolled burning
of a billion gallons of partially-refined gasoline engulfed the region and drifted
eastward towards the rest of the nation, local authorities claimed "all-was-well" and
then returned to chasing-away the cigarette-smokers from building doorways and
government-controlled properties so that no one would ever have to smell the slightest amount of any ‘second-hand
smoke’ of the cigarettes.

Seems I likely may have been right smack-dab in the middle of that plume of uncontrolled gasoline exhaust too, as it turns out. Whether the plume had already passed in actuality and I only was exposed to the residuals, well..., I dont know who could say one way or the other.
