I just spent over an hour burning old tax documents in a 50 gallon drum.

Stack and stacks of stapled together papers.
Binders full.
Some of them dating back to the mid 80's.

I decided it was now safe to get rid of them.smiley: roll

Now a reasonably sane and intelligent person
would have shredded them first and then burned them.
since shredded paper burns faster and more thoroughly
than stapled together.stacks.

Not me, I started dumping whole folders full in there,
then realized I would have to keep stirring it,or the
fire would eventually smother out before the burn was complete..

I also soon realized it's a job much better suited for winter time,
not in this July heat.

The job is only half done for I had to make a hasty retreat to the AC.
