Extra inspiration to pedal

My son forgot his lunch today.  I rode my bike to deliver it to him at school.  The oil spill in the Gulf inspired me.  Then I read this article about the Exxon Valdez spill.

It still isn't clean.  How long ago did that happen?  1989. The article states there is still a residue of about 20,000 gallons in the area.  Sickening.

Our president needs to make sure this mess gets cleaned up at BP's expense.  Then he needs to get American factories to make pedal/electric cars.  My opinion.  :-)

The oil spill in the gulf makes me sick.  My family spent spring break in Alabama a couple of years ago.  You can see the rigs out at sea when you are at the beach.  My dad met a guy who said his job was to dump the oil laced sludge they dig up when making wells.  He dumped it out at sea.  We all had a sick feeling then.  I feel worse now.
