oil update

For those of you concerned with my steel-toed boot safety in disturbingly polluted wetlands, rest easy knowing that we are no longer doing field work at that creepy, nostril searing site. Not since a coworker of mine broke through the surface crust of a wetland by walking on it and ended up shin deep in a pond of oil. Realize the grossness. A pond of OIL under about 4 inches of dirt and algal crust that misleadingly looks solid.Where he fell in.Clothes to discard, now HazMat.
