This thing is massive. I transposed it over my location and it covers this whole area.

3. What is worse, a spill or a disaster?
It is just horrible and calling it a spill is minimizing what a massive tragedy this is.

and for you NorCalers out there, say bye-bye to an area extending from Marin to well north of Sac, all the way out into gold country east of Modesto, down past Gilroy and Watsonville ( :hi: garlic :( ), and out to sea far out past the Farallones.

6. I centered it over Oil City, PA. Thanks for the link. Interesting and anger provoking.
I thought was fitting since that's the area where our addiction started.

It really helps put it in perspective when you see the size of the crime scene in relation to your habitat.
