The Smell of Oil in the Morning

Delicious!

Louisiana health officials have ordered air quality testing after a “pungent fuel smell” blanketed “much of coastal Louisiana” and New Orleans. People along Florida’s Gulf Coast also noticed an “oily odor” that “leaves a bitter taste in your mouth” permeating the air. Officials say the smell could be from the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and are warning that people may experience “nausea, vomiting or headaches.”

Yeah, and this is only the beginning.
