I hope that the buyer is aware of residual nuclear material stored underneath the one of the older Bellaire lab buidings. Supposedly, Texaco pulled it and buried it downhole in an abandoned well in the Humble field right around the time of the CVX-TX "merger".

1xax, I am talking about a rumor that has been circulating in tight circles for a while. I'm an old timer and have heard the story a couple of times. The toilet and lavatory sink, commissioned by Ken Derr (some say his predecessor) when Chevron's HQ was located in San Francisco, did exist. It's said it was taken from the old headquarters when Chevron moved to San Ramon. Are you John Watson's publicist or something? Sure JW has that geeking persona, but what does that have to do with anything. The bathroom amenities moved from the old HQ have a strange significance the and engraving is a mystery. Those things are in JW's private bathroom.

Only Ken Derr never had an office in San Ramon. And most Chevron leaders are not showoff spenders. Watson is not a tycoon. He is very normal and a bit geekish. Watch any of his tv interviews. You might learn something.

"Grilled Dawgs with yellow mustard", is very fitting since July is National Hot Dog Month. "Painted Ladies" as well since our former headquarters during the days of Ken Derr was in San Francisco. You are quite the witty person, @amy.

I was told John Watson has a private bathroom in his luxurious San Ramon office. He has a gold plated and gem studded toilet that was originally commissioned by former CEO, Ken Derr. There is also a large lavatory sink that was cast from a ship anchor from one of the tanker ships in Chevron's fleet. The height of arrogance at the top never seizes to amaze. There's a story floating around, and only a few legacy people know what it says, of an engraved passage, found inscribed around the rim of the toilet. It's rumored it's a secret Masonic verse. Mysterious and weird at the same time. These tycoons of industry, all seem to have an eccentric side to them.
