Worse.... about two years ago I was making Tandoori chicken for a friend
who was visiting from Texas. My tank was empty. My spare tank was
empty. I had bought a second tank so that I would never have to worry
about running out of fuel. I should learn to take the empty for a refill
immediately because once I start using the second tank I forget about
the first one.
