6/02/05 - THURMAN, NY) — A tip for would-be gasoline thieves. When stealing gas in the dark, don't use a lighter to see how you're doing. Police in Warren County say that's what Glen Germain Junior did when he was siphoning gas from a dump truck at a business in the Adirondacks last month.
The sheriff's department says Germain was transferring the fuel from the truck to a gas can when he used a lighter to see how full the container had become. That sparked a fire that caused minor burns to his face and hands. The fire spread to a nearby forklift, which was destroyed in the blaze.
Germain has been charged with petit larceny and criminal mischief. The arrest was Germain's second in a month for stealing gasoline from businesses in the town of Thurman, about 65 miles north of Alba

Are people getting dumber? Or are there just more people with the average dumbness ratio the same?
I mean these days I've seen many people smoking at the gas stations while fueling up, or while at the island in the passenger seat, again, smoking. In past years you'd never see that. Furthermore, does anybody know the rule of the road when on a bike? They have arrows that point the correct direction of travel actually painted on the pavement in the bicycle lanes, but most of the time those that are on bikes are going the exact opposite way! I hardly ever see folks going the proper direction. Also, you should see some of the way things have been built in my new place. I think a monkey could demonstrate higher construction skills. Is it me? Am I being too critical? Why the 'F' would a person smoke while pumping gas or drive the wrong way?
