Comment on Y'all ever have intrusive thoughts about accidentally dropping stuff in storm drains? (particulary when you have your phone out) And like if that happens, wtf is someone supposed to do?

Slurry is scary. Half of a family my family knew when I was growing up died in a slurry pit. The dog fell in, so the father jumped in to rescue it, then the son jumped in to rescue the father

Damn. That is awful.

Never even so much as consider entering a slurry lagoon without a tether and protective gear.

  You forgot ‘and a friend to pull you out in case’.

    True. Better to have at least two - the suction from the slurry will make it hard to get you out.
    
    In fact, we never entered a lagoon without a second team on site, and one or more from the leadership team would almost always be there as well.
    
    That’s just how dangerous it is.
