The Crime in the Gulf
This is what the surf looks like in Gulf Shores, Alabama. I've been there many times back in my college days in Mobile. Pictures like this just make me sick.

Incredible. It looks like the tide on one of Jupiter's moons.
It's beyond sickening. There really isn't a word that I can think of to describe what's going on down there...I'd have to resort to a Thesaurus, and I'm way too tired (and lazy) to do that tonight. Words the media's using, "tragedy", "disaster", "catastrophe"--none of them adequately describe this event enough to my liking.
I read online that it's made it to Pensacola's shores now b/c they'd closed the public beaches. Do you know how many public beaches there are in Escambia county, FL?? Me neither, but there are MANY of them.
Who knew that the world's whitest beaches were destined to one day become blacker than the volcanic ones scattered throughout the Hawaiian islands?
The trip up to NYC was a nice diversion from having to consider that the whole time we were gone, 6 and a half days, that foul gusher just kept on gushing. I read an article in the NY Times Magazine on the plane that says the Atlantic blue fin tuna is on its way to almost certain extinction. Which will be helped along mightily by the spill because the Gulf is one of its two spawning areas. Did you know the Atlantic blue fin tuna is warm-blooded? Did not know a fish could be that, but there it is.
