Early Breakfast...but sleep debt too big, and back to the Cabin to snooze until worktime...sunny blueblue warm....at Lunch, Flicker calling, Yellow Warbler calling, Song Sparrow calling right over head above the Boulder I sit on at Ozone Beach, which is still under water, but the River is no higher, or lower...Robins and Blue Jays about...a few farfar away pics of Flicker, Warbler, and Sparrow, and time, and going back up the Use Path, Bear came ambling out of the Woods...missed pics...new camera sometime doesn't autofocus in low light, and the shutter wont trip...took some more as Bear walked past, but all blurry....camera focused on foilage in between...hmmph...finally got some in focus pics as Bear walked off up the Path...tourists on the Room Patios took notice, and came out and trailed Bear...poor Bear...99 or 66...henceforth 'Ozone'!....I trailed off to work....Bear sightings always a treasure!....report of Blue Jays' nest right over the Little Store entrance....report of Bald Eagles' nest in Wall Township New Jersey...a sensation thereabout...talkabout the Spill...I couldn't understand why a mile of seawater above the well head wouldn't push the oil spewing out back down...that's a lot of pressure..."oil is under more, the hole goes down through eighteen thousand feet of strata"...oh...the Russian technology for deepdeep wells is being used...brb....

Abiogenic petroleum origin is an alternative hypothesis to the prevailing theory of biological petroleum origin. Most popular in the Soviet Union between the 1950s and 1980s, the abiogenic hypothesis has little support among contemporary petroleum geologists, who argue that abiogenic petroleum does not exist in significant amounts and that there is no indication that an application of the hypothesis is or has ever been of commercial value.[1]
And here's the story of the drilling rig, something of a phenom, in that it had drilled the deepest oil well...that's what it did, drill wells, it wasn't a platform that pumps the oil...there's something like four thousand of those in the Gulf.
I dont know if they have reached 'abiogenic' oil....and I'm a bit charmed that the contraption to cap the well has things in common with my Flight of Fancy posts!
