Very Pretty View, With One Problem
USC is playing Cal Shmerkely in football today, which means Jack Heather is in town. Jack is probably a normal person in all other ways, but he absolutely worships USC football. Compared to Jack Heather's 10+, Plotnik's Plotzer obsession barely cracks a 5.
This season, USC is not so good but they're always better than Cal.
Plot and Duck took Jack to Pazzia for dinner on Thursday night and afterwards drove over to Treasure Island for a look at the skyline. The air was crisp and it could not have been more beautiful, except for the smell. A Korean freighter collided with the Bay Bridge Thursday morning in the fog and there is a strong smell of fuel oil in the bay. It's everywhere. Even the pretty lights can't cancel out all the sea birds who are bound to struggle now.

We seem determined to destroy whatever beauty there is left. My heart ached when I read about oil-covered seabirds.
It's funny how early on the news was all about whether the bridge was damaged, and whether this would affect commuters.
And then the real issue began to emerge.
I like to think that the commuters would trade some bridge damage for the massive environmental impact this is going to have for a long time to come.
Human error indeed.
