Oil, oil everywhere...


According to several reports, this link is the most forwarded or twittered photo today… It’s a sign at an Ohio BP station… I wonder if they accept their own statement of “rules of engagement”…

Beyond being wildly funny and appropriate, it suggests the frustration and helplessness of the collective “us” while viewing the slow motion train wreck which is the gulf oil spill…

Despite the “cap” which is reportedly gathering more than 10,000 barrels a day of the estimated 5,000 barrels of oil escaping… the situation continues… It’s a slow motion disaster. At best the local fishermen will loose a couple of years of fishing… at worse they have just lost their livelihood, for ever.

The locals are trying to keep the oil out of bays and estuaries. We hope they are successful.

Enjoy the photo.
