The oil is here... :(




Cleanup workers lined the beach from Biloxi all the way back past Long Beach.

The tar balls (more like tar pancakes) that are washing up have the consistency of warm caramel. The workers are using large shovels (looks like snow shovels from up North), and they patrol the beaches looking for globs to pick up. This area is where we last took the Weta out - Courthouse Rd in Gulfport.

Today the wind was macking out of the East - 10-15 mph solid in the mid afternoon. Would have been a perfect kiting session...

Life is going to be different around here for awhile.
