TALES FROM THE FIELD & GEORGIA SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS
“The cleaning lady threw a cigarette butt in your trash can. A flame shot up right to the ceiling! She nearly died of fright – thank God she put it out with water before she ran away!”
Slowly it dawned on me: I had been so tired that I had left a couple of ben- zene-soaked paper towels in the trash can, assuming that the benzene would evaporate completely away in the time interval between 10 p.m., when I had finished work, and whenever the follow- ing day the cleaning lady would come in. I had to placate my landlady somehow, though, since there was nowhere else in Vazante to stay. So I continued to hum- bly apologize and promised that it would never happen again – everything that benzene had touched would be disposed
of outside before I went to bed each night. But it was no good, she would only let me stay if I did whatever black magic I was doing outside, and only outside, in the scrap metal yard beside the hotel.
So I did, but there was an active mine outside Vazante, and it was the dry season, and you can’t stop the wind blowing. I never got another sample that was not highly anoma- lous in zinc. I just could not keep the dust in the air from contaminating my samples and reagents while they were briefly exposed during the ana- lytical process. Basically, the project was dead for the year, as I couldn’t follow up my nice anomalies.
