On my trip to the site this am, I don’t know what I expected to see that would surprise me, kinda beyond shockable at this point……..I did find it to be one of the more surreal experiences I’ve had in a long while…Basically the gulf looks like someone took a hammer and smashed it all over the place creating large deep bruises, kinda like a bad one you would get if someone kneed you in the thigh, the color it turns after a couple weeks. There was very little visible red oil floating today, bot ominous endless shadows and veins everywhere. Did not see one fish of any kind and very few birds. We saw ‘A Whale” the ship out there, perhaps it sucked up all the red stuff, don’t know….it was cruising around a few miles from the site, since it can’t get too close …..the marshes are a disaster, from Timbelier Bay all the way to Grand Isle(although Grand Isle is neater than the rest, you know staging area….)…On the east side of the river….there was a bright green substance that appeared to be dropped all over the oil in the marsh, microbes perhaps??? One thing became very apparent to me today, if the media can’t get to it, or you can keep the public away, nothing gets done there……..period. And there are a lot of such areas….have some more when I have time…I think you get the picture here though…
