Car tar Pit Assemblage

Car tar Pit Assemblage political art by John Robertson.

This reminds me of my old days as a teenager when I
worked in my dad's gas station. We'd collect the
old oil from the oil changes and then dump the oil
into big drums. The house we lived in that was on
a hill at one time had a dirt street in front. There
was a guy who used to take old reclaimed oil from
the gas stations and pour it at the top of the hill
and let it run down to cover the dirt street.
Worked well for dust abatement but was not a
politically correct environmental way to get rid
of the oil. This was the late forties. Did anyone
even think about those things in those day?
