Well that oil spill at Refugio sure looks a lot worse this morning. Locals and volunteers are gathering up wildlife for cleanup. About 4 miles of beach affected so far. Boats out working the slick, whom I suspect are owned by the bigger oil companies. Hard to imagine the Texas pipe company having any, it’s the oil platform operators that have them.

For those who have not been there Refugio and the area is not just beaches there is a huge tidepool/salt marsh area that is going to be far harder to clean up.

What pisses me off is that the spill came from “an abandoned pipeline”…abandoned? Sorry…you can’t just lay miles of pipeline and then one day just say, “I don’t need that anymore.” and leave it. You have to pick that shit up.
