re: A/C recharging

That's interesting.  I was at NAPA the other day in Seattle and while waiting to
get some fuses I was reading a notice sent out to all the NAPA dealers 
from some sort of HQ.  I THOUGHT it said you couldn't sell R-12 to anyone
who didn't have some kind of special license.  Anyway, it was a warning not
to sell some kind of refrigerent to civilians and indicated that gov. reps. had
been checking.
