lupo, heh !

I don't think any "families" lost any money because of the Exxon Valdez oil spill.......

That was a horrible and tragic mess, but Uncle Sugar has a way of coating major screwups with money. More likely there are several local guys who got a big pile of money by renting their little fishing boats to the cleanup efforts. I was in a logging camp a few hundred miles south of Valdez, and there were guys quitting to go up there and stand around on the beach with a hose, they made bank, and didn't hardly have any effect except for the cameras.......
