OTW = Off The Wall, is my Thursday ongoing series
Davidseth’s essay last night made me cry: “But BP’s not pouring oil directly on me, or my family, or my house, or my land.” (excellent essay, & he says it much better than me… my sentiments)
Yes, yes they are. They are pouring oil on us… My house, my beach, my land, my Gulf, my ocean, my planet. And yours too.
“We came to the beach just in case we can’t come next week or in the next 20 years…”
{Dad, family of 4}
The winds Sunday gusted to 25 mph, blowing from the Gulf toward the coast, but coming a bit from the east. That helped keep the huge oil slick from coming closer to Florida.
“Currently, there are no impacts to the state projected through Wednesday,” said Florida Department of Environmental Protection spokeswoman Amy Graham. “Florida continues to make preparations to safeguard the state’s shoreline.”
“We wait for summer so we can go to the beach,” {16 year old boy, Pensacola Florida}.
“This could ruin our summer.”
Ya think…?
