today the inquirer had an article on securing furniture and the dangers of tvs, esp. the old big ones falling on children. that commercial was a bit too topical.

I call BS on being able to get a good seal with that respirator with that much of a beard. The safety guys at work would give me all kinds of hell if they caught me trying to use a respirator with that much facial hair.
