On pg 75 and the following pages of What Was Asked of Us, J Powers talks about Propane in Baghdad, how Iraqis used it for heating and cooking, and how the ration system under Saddam was no more. The shop in his district did not have adequate supply, and his crew had to improvise their own rationing system (basically, one can per person). He describes losing his temper on a guy who was gaming the system, and then using a sandbag.

  • Propane is the title of an Eric Clapton song, originally written by JJ Cale... at least I think he said "propane": If you want to go fast, you've got to light the gas Propane! If you want to go up, go up, go up Propane! It won't light, it won't light, it won't light ** BOOM ** Propane! If there's nothing to do, you wanna kick them blues Propane! When your charcoal's all gone and you wanna grill on Propane! It won't light, it won't light, it won't light ** BOOM ** Propane! If your petrol is gone, and you wanna ride on: Propane Just fill up your pack, you're not coming back: Propane! It won't light, it won't light, it won't light ** BOOM ** Propane! It won't light, it won't light, it won't light ** BOOM ** Propane!
