The press has been kept largely out of the neighborhood with the oil pipeline leak in Arkansas, so locals are being their own press via social media.

Here’s one photo of a back yard – not quite as unimpressive as the narrow channel of oil in the press is showing in street, is it?

Having been in a house where the oil tank dripped a little, but didn’t burst before it could be replaced, I can tell you the smell of that oil has to be horrendous. The homes on this block will probably be irreparable – the oil will soak into the ground, into the concrete of the basements, etc., and make the homes permanently uninhabitable.

Ready to stop Keystone XL, yet?
