Two quarts of motor oil, poured on the ground, will render a million gallons of groundwater undrinkable. Half the planet's freshwater supply will be too polluted to drink by 2050.

OP here. I'll answer questions as soon as I can. It takes some time to find the relevant quotes so apologies for any delay. I may as well finish posting all the women-related stuff.

___________

On Ted’s job at a truck stop in Montana

>"In the late summer of 1974, Ted also pumped gas and sold tires for a few weeks at Kibbey Korner Truck Stop in Raynesford, 100 miles east of Lincoln. It was a drifter's job -- a bunk went with it -- and no one held it for long […] Ted's brief sojourn in Raynesford was also notable for a crude romantic overture he made to a 19-year-old college student who was working as a waitress in the truck-stop restaurant […]To the waitress, Sandra Hill, he was just a shy, clean-shaven co-worker, a dozen years her senior. She said she had paid him little attention, and had no idea he was interested in her until she went back to school that fall and received three letters from him. One invited her to move with him to northern Canada and be his squaw. The second was almost a resume, in which he, as if applying for work, told her he was a Harvard graduate who had written and published papers in scientific journals. The third said he assumed she was not interested because she had ignored the first two."
