Hi TR. fans, friends and others-

For the first time I would like to express a strong feeling regarding the 
dumping option proposed below.  NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT...Dig a hole etc.  is not 
an acceptable option.  People in general cut corners and will ultimately pose 
a danger to pets and especially wildlife. I implore the list to dispose 
properly.  Thank you.

     It is best to recycle antifreeze, but if for some reason you can not 
find a place at which to do this remember that antifreeze IS 
biodegradable. I used to work at an auto parts store and we had a book 
listing all the ways to handle the products we sold. It is fine to pour 
it on the ground just make SURE that it does not leave a puddle as it 
can be deadly if ingested and many animals like the taste. 

     On another note you may be wondering what the MOST difficult product to 
dispose of was. Armour All. I think it was suposed to be sent back to the 
manufacturer or something. Oddly nobody ever dropped a bottle of Armour 
All. Oil additives and everything else, yes; Armour All no.
