Today's Blue is quite unusual. We have a propane cylinder exchange company named Blue Rhino. Here's the explanation for the name: A rhino is "tough, sturdy, and looks like a tank. And the propane flame [makes] a perfect rhino horn. ... the color Blue [is] the color of a propane flame" at its peak heat. The full explanation can be found here.











You may have seen this on the news late last Monday night:
A series of explosions rocked a central Florida propane gas plant and sent "boom after boom after boom" through the neighborhood around it. Several people were injured, with at least three critically injured.  The Associated Press





Each of these 53,000 20-pound tanks exploded, making a huge fire ball. Houses shook from as far away as ten miles! Thankfully, no one was killed. The explosion was "caused either by  human error or an equipment malfunction, according to local Fire Chief Richard Keith." The story can be seen here.

Do you cook with a propane tank? Please be extra careful!


Happy Blue Monday!
