BP Oil Spill Update
I spoke to a friend in Croatia yesterday who said he was keeping abreast of the BP oil spill by reading my blog but that I don’t post updates often enough to keep him informed. I thought to myself afterwards, well that’s good because that means that nothing is happening because if it were, I’d know and write about it, right?
This morning I learned the tar balls have made their way our way. The worst news yet. Even Lake Ponchartrain is getting tar balls. That’s right. The oil is here folks and it is in our oyster beds, where our shrimp are, where our crabs are, where our fin fish are.
Yesterday, around 3PM, I grew melancholy, by evening I was feeling depressed – it was a matter of having been sick the whole holiday weekend and it now coming to an end.
This morning my depression sunk lower and it was a matter of having been optimistic we might be able to skate through the BP oil spill mess and now the optimism has come to an end.
