Ayuh. Those numbers just keep adding up, don't they bud?

The President was on TV tonight to reassure us that everything is being done to fix it. Didn't really watch him, though.

Did you happen to see the computer models of the predicted reach of the spill? With any luck nature will give us a better model and the oil won't end up in the middle of the Atlantic.

Oh, crap. It's headed for Europe, first Ireland & UK and then the rest.

They better boom it off into the Mexico Gulf or something, no way the rest of the world will forgive the US if this messes up the entire Atlantic.

Those are only predictions... although I do certainly share some of that fear. It's bad enough to mess up our own coast but if some of that does end up floating around in the swirlies/mucking up other shores, we'll have to figure out how to tell our grandkids how and why that happened.

I'm just gonna keep these fingers crossed.

[EDIT]

From the looks of that image, Canada will be safe at least. *bonus*

Not sure about Canada being safe, that thing is going to linger around. Stuff like that is happening all over all the time, oceans being polluted. Like the 'plastic patch' in the Pacific and other oceans / large bodies of water.

Oh yes, the plastic.

The tourist traps of the future.
