If one is worried about skin contact with Perc, Viton gloves have a very high breakthrough time, and Nitrile is just fine as well. (I could have chosen to be a 3’rd generation dry cleaner.)

Would one of you guys mind describing the use of the wheel knockers? Any searching attempts lead to low rider spokes, and I know that ain’t it. TIA.

Sanborn fire maps are very cool https://www.loc.gov/collections/sanborn-maps/
