Today I was on a double Ship Store in the morning then 5-volume (got off at 10). I was standing outside when my mom comes out with her binoculars. She said there was a pelican covered in oil on one of the pylons outside. Now you see this on TV and online, pictures, video, nothing can prepare you for actually seeing it. I tried really hard not to burst out in tears upon seeing it. Other people saw it and were pretty equally devastated by the site. Bryan called the animal rescue people but they said their boats had shut down for the day, then someone came out with an official looking tee shirt, but the bird remained and may still be there, but the light faded to night so I couldn't see it anymore.
Nothing prepares you for that...I hate the world.
