black on white.

Today was enough.  Tonight I sit on this humid night and record these thoughts... I cannot even begin to express the sadness I feel, much less the anger.  I rented a chopper today, the black eagle.  My curiousity and insanity led me to do such a gutsy expensive "answer" to the questions lingering in my mind.  Mike lifted us off at 4 pm.  I tossed the idea up and down for nearly a week and it was either do or dont.  I did.

  There are people in the water, picking up shells, hanging out like nothing is wrong...barefeet...while dozers scrape the oil and sand and bag it.  The giants of the oil companies have OUR American Citizens doing this work, exposing US to this cancer. Truly third world-ish in MY country. Photo by Candice Alexander Copyright 2010  Pensacola Beach FL.
      I witnessed many oil slicks above the ground in my private heli...dolphins, manta rays, sunken boats and sharks- close to the shore.   My restless soul believed what I did not want to...I loved this gulf like never before, crashin on the shore....dont run and hide...a little hide away...the coldest warmest waters ever...


     hammers beating hard , Some other air to breathe ,That we might break these molds ,And free our restless souls ,Start to believe ,That we can rise above ,Our pettiness and love , Like we ain't loved before, free on this earth, As the surf that rolls , And crashes on the shore.  And hey now don't run and hide, Your little heart away , If it's gone ,We'll sure never find it , Pining for lost innocence...   David Gray


Clean up crews lined the beaches of Pensacola.  White tents, blue tents, men and women in yellow vests and boots...plastic squares draped on the sand...black on white.


Dozers and cranes and port-o-lets and parking lots full of bags of oil.  
The crews immediately were on this mission of cleaning up what is yet to come. Hurry so no one can see what has happened it what it looked like and felt like.


Black on white...an aerial birds eye view.
A storms a brewing in this soup and people swim with their flesh in this mess.


Considering your SKIN is the largest organ:   I think the beaches should have a sign in. That way we can record and document the side/health effects of the people swimming in it with their orfices. DISSOLVED OIL IS BAD. Just because you cant see it does NOT mean it doesnt exist...kinda like a VIRUS..
