This was only a cup or so but it sprayed everywhere, mostly me.  Not sure
any hit the ground.  The bitter wind kept the fumes out of the heater I
reckon.  I was so bemused by the impossibility of it all that I didn't even
get my face in the dirt, lay there at least two-three seconds like a
mooncalf.  Would have been all over but the hurting.  Boy I feel stupid --
and grateful, not least that my wife wasn't watching.
