Koko,

This is not a commentary at you it's pointed at the people in the picture!

Why do people let kids poke around in that shiat?

Why not tell the kids to leave it alone? It's bad enough that it made it to shore. Now the kids are going to play with it and track it back into the rental or the Dodge Caravan the dad is still paying for.

IN the early 80s the Cali coast had tar balls wash up on the shore.

You stepped in them and the rest of your trip was spent scraping dead dinosaur off you sole.

In the Midwest, farmers have taken to charging people to come and spend time working a farm.

It's free work for the farmers and people, who would never get the chance, get to play cowboy for a few days.

People in Louisiana did a similar thing, touring tourists thru the damaged parishes.

Now what?

If I was there and owned a boat? I'd take out an ad in the paper and ask for people to - for a modest fee - to come out and help clean up area.

No need to be greedy, take a percentage to keep the boat afloat, to pay the crew and donate the rest to charity.

People are motivated when it comes to efforts like that.
