Here’s the news from the boys and girls at Justice, below.
Patched up and riding high – the last time we saw the Cosco Busan back in 2007. Will it ever come back? She’s called the MSC Venezia these days, currently working in the Canaries.
Oh well, she’s not the first Hyundai to leak oil into San Francsico Bay, and she won’t be the last.
The full release, after the jump
The news of the day from the Associated Press: “Coast Guard scoops up oil in San Francisco Bay“
Except that the smallest branch of the United States military doesn’t actually scoop up spilled oil in San Francisco Bay - there’s a whole industry dedicated to doing that. And if you listen to the Coast Guard, they’ll tell you that, ad nauseum. Oh well.
The Coasties are handling this spill better than that one from the Cosco Busan. Hurray! That’s good practice for The Big Oil Spill in our future:
The Pacific Responder and the Ocean Liberty, along with smaller vessels, are out there right now, between San Francisco and the tip of Alameda Island that’s, oddly enough, also part of the City of San Francisco.
Anyway, the USCG don’t scoop up oil.
And keep up the good work, 11th District. Just try to resist the urge to lie to us for no reason, and you’ll do fine.
Carry on…
District 11 Supervisorial candidate John Avalos has an army of enthusiastic supporters that, literally, money can’t buy.
Of course you can pay people to help you out, but pound for pound, the best assistance you can get comes from committed volunteers.
A scene from Mission Street:
John preparing for another ride in D11 with supporters.
In these days of Instant Runoff Voting, it can be hard to hazard a guess as to who might win this election tomorrow but, after travelling up and down a short stretch of Mission in the Excelsior District, it’s apparent that Avalos is handily winning the battle of the campaigns.
