Another global disaster...

Man-made, this time.  With any luck, this will be a deal-changer... for the better.  ("It can't get no worse...")

It was just a matter of time. My home state fronts on the Gulf, my home state depends on the Gulf, and even though they say the tides & eddies & swirls are not going to bring the oil to the west coast of Florida, I know that tides change and one day blue herons and white pelicans will be eating oil-drenched fish and will not be able to achieve liftoff due to gunk on their wings.  Feeling angry and impotent about this, and seriously considering moving. It's going to be bad. Rachel Maddow had a chilling story on it tonight....

Update: the video story got moved, but here's a link to her research and new blog. We are so toast.
