beware the blob

Waiting on the oil spill, waiting and praying that it dissipates in smoke, waiting as the wind turns wrong and pushes the blob towards the coast, waiting while attempts to plug the leak fail...hearing rumors that perhaps there was sabotage as it was so near Earth Day (no, how could anyone think that; oh, how could i forget "drill baby drill" folk). Thinking of the birds, fish, dolphins, shrimp (shrimpers allowed to start the season early), oysters - marsh, marsh creatures, beaches...boats.
