The Gulf Oil Spill. The setting sun gleans off the water’s oily surface. As I write, the revised estimate is 35,000 to 60,000 barrels of oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico per day.

Note: This post starts a series putting oddlies together. Some will be things that just fit and others, like oil and water in the Gulf, go badly together. After reaching item #5, I will post a page titled “Oddlies” that collects them all into an easily navigable list.
