#1This year has been a very unusual year for us in San Diego.
Our atmospheric conditions were very different this year than many other years and we experienced very high levels of dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) in the air. I am not sure why Southern California had these elevated conditions and it has not been enjoyable the last few months.
I know that most of you have also been plagued with dihydrogen monoxide in your own area and perhaps you know how corrosive it is to metal. If you are not familiar with DHMO, it is the main ingredient in acid rain. This chemical is so bad that in its solid state, it has been known to destroy human flesh and inhaling it in its liquid state can cause death. In Washington state, they found some contaminated with radioactive particles from Japan. In my case, the exposure has not been very dangerous but it did affect some of the items in my handcuff collection. I have included some pictures so you can see what it has done to some of my cuffs.
Not too long ago, these cuffs were in much better shape and I am certain that their value has been lowered due to contact with the elevated levels of this caustic chemical.
I am about to have the collection appraised again (for court purposes)and am worried that its value has greatly decreased because of the damage it has done to some of the items.
I just hope that I am not held accountable for any diminished values of the cuffs that this chemical(also known as hydroxic acid) has done to the collection. Our lawyers may have to go to court and argue how I allowed the cuffs come in contact with the DHMO and how I could have prevented the damage from occurring. I still may need to pay my soon-to-be ex-wife the fair market value of the cuffs. I hope that if it comes up, I can litigate this issue successfully as it is not really my fault.
I am not real happy about the aftereffects of my cuffs being in contact with this acid and wish the government would do something to prevent this horrible chemical from appearing in the air. California has a good Air Quality Board, but they have done nothing about this problem and probably won't.
I hope none of you have experienced any of the same damage that I endured. I know many of you are not too concerned about this as the area you live in may not have as much exposure as we did this year but wanted you to be aware of the problems I had with it and wanted you to be alert you to its evil presence.
You can read more about it if interested.
