Supports a half-baked hypothesis of mine regarding the folks on the left and right coasts... The methyl chloride, which penetrates the cranial encapsulant easily, may open the diode junctions to atmospheric attack. 8^)

Usually, outfits like the EPA and others try to avoid any serious discussion of methyl chloride. 'Cause if they do, somebody who knows what he's talking about is going to shout, "Bullshit!" Methyl chloride is produced in such massive quantities by the ocean that if the entire industrial enterprise of the human race were devoted to making nothing but methyl chloride, it wouldn't even be that metaphorical drop in the bucket. Ever wonder why the ocean smells like the ocean? Yes, it's methyl choride, and in quantities the EPA wouldn't approve. Exactly which environment are they trying to protect? Next time you go to the beach, take a deep invigorating breath and say to yourself, "Mmmm, now that's some of the best methyl chloride I've ever smelled." All that phytoplankton busy at work "polluting" the environment is a sight to behold, microscopically speaking. BTW, I drive the Pacific Coast Highway to work every morning and I've noticed all the traffic signals with LEDs have begun to have faulty and failing individual parts. This doesn't seem to happen inland. I've a half-baked hypothesis that the methyl chloride, which penetrates the acrylic-styrene encapsulant easily, might have opened the diode junction to atmospheric attack. Anyway, this makes funny flickering patterns in the green lights, standing flamingos and other oddments of my imagination.
