Say, remember that BP oil disaster in the Gulf in 2010? No, it hasn't all or mostly all been cleaned up.
Fortunately the air in New Orleans no longer "smells like 30 weight, like the floor of a transmission shop on a hot summer day." as it did for much of mid-2010. However in the Gulf, bayous, and marshlands, the effects continue. An acquaintance told me of a recent visit to a wild life preserve in Plaquemines Parish -- every step he took created a "squish" with oil oozing out of the ground.
( Here are some links about the situation from within the past month: )
