PWS is an amazing place...one of my favorites on earth. Anyhow, I was asked to help out in the capture/recovery of the sea otters that were exposed to the oil during the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill in 1989. Those 6 months out on water and at the rehabilitation centers changed my life. The smell of the oil out on the water. The many...many different types of aquatic life that were killed by this oil. I had worked on a few other sea otter projects on PWS in the early 80's. It was amazing...the waters so clear...the beaches pristine..no dead marine life. We must never forget how fragile our planet can be.....btw..the captain of the Exxon Valdez passed away last week.<br /><br />Jeff RashAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-22712872951061450802022-09-15T08:37:23.924-04:002022-09-15T08:37:23.924-04:00In the small, Pennsyltucky town where I grew up th...In the small, Pennsyltucky town where I grew up the old, cantankerous, cigar-chewing owner of the local Humble gas station owner refused to hang the Exxon sign. <br /><br />It sat beside the station for I don't know how long, until what he called "those damned lawyers" told him to either hang it or lose his contract to carry their brand.<br /><br />He was even <i>more</i> cantankerous after that. In not too long a time he switched to Quaker State. Which then became Pennzoil and then Shell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
