[s-cars] Antifreeze FnF procedure

[Walsh, Edward]

Hi Tom, Serge

The effort was tongue and cheek!!

My hope was the sentence was structured so that it was obvious that I
comprehend the dangers of coolant ingestion to
humans/wildlife/vegetation/ground water/etc.  I thought that asking how not
to spill the coolant demonstrated my inherent concern.  Though the part
about the grass is true, no animal was hurt.  My neeighbour's dog is fine.
I was horsing around with him just yesterday...

Be careful that animals don't drink antifreeze it is a potent poison used by
some individuals to get rid of racoons. Animals like the sweet taste.
How's your neeighbour's dog?
