It's nice to be optimistic, but better to be realistic about the results of
the oil spill & what can be expected to be a long, hard road forward.
Hi Lizbud, Sounds like we both saw the same news report about the Exon Valdez. That area is still dealing with the aftermath of the spill. The amount of oil in those handsful of sand is really incredible and it doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon. My son just got back yesterday from China and he said the current leak in the Gulf is big news over there too. I'm not at all confident that we'll see Alaska and the Gulf completely recover in our lifetimes.
