Okay, I’m in the crowd of wanting to make “no one” into a single word, but this hurts my brain. “Let’s make it one word and then split it with a hyphen!” Ahhhh!!!

I have talked to some operators at a similar facility and their comment was that if that happened and nobody was hurt, then they knew something was very wrong.

Remember when “mercy” was the only “swear word” you’d hear on CB radios? What the fuck happened to those more innocent times?

Can you blame them? Pretty sure if I die in an accident, my last words will be unprintable.

When the paper mills blow up, pretty much everything’s unprintable.

They keep saying “paper mill”, but as I understand it, it was a digester that blew up.

Back in my day, it was all “my land” and “good land”. And if the CB operator was particularly vexed or astounded, he may exclaim, “for land’s sake!”

it was a digester at the Androscoggin Mill in Jay, Maine, where paper products are made. Everyone in that neck of the woods calls it the paper mill, or the Jay mill.
