YOU HAVE TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT!

If you are going to the coast and expecting to see the above---YOU WOULD BE WRONG! We went to Biloxi, MS this weekend for a wedding and the oil spill clean up----TOTALLY BLEW ME AWAY! In front of the condo that we were staying in, we watched a crew for two days---TRULY UNBELIEVABLE. There was an entire bus of workers stationed where we could watch the activity. Basically if you have ever driven down the highway and seen one guy digging and 12 standing around watching---you are getting the picture. The men kept going back and getting on the air conditioned bus. They would pick up tar balls for 15 minutes in groups that looked like the gulls that flock together on the beach--and then it was rest time, or bus time, or eat time. It was INCREDIBLE. I have never seen greater inefficiency in my life! Brand new tractors, brand new mules, brand new trucks driving up and down the beach----LOTS of workers--raking the water and carrying around plastic bags---NOT MUCH TO DO THOUGH. I must admit--these were the cleanest beaches I have EVER seen--almost to the point of not looking like a beach, but a well groomed sand colored carpet.

YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT!

I really have to question BP's management and their use of resources---but I will admit--there were people in the water and on the beaches and everything seemed fastidiously clean.

UNBELIEVABLE!
