Southwest Michigan Weather

Here's Ben's Annoying Opinion. First in a series of who knows how many.

The EPA is saying more than a million gallons of oil spilled into the Kalamazoo River! Keep this important trivia in mind- the Kalamazoo River is a large Michigan waterway, and it leads to Lake Michigan. Keep in mind also that just because the name is Lake MICHIGAN, it's not just our lake. What if the state starts getting suits from Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana about contaminating the lake? And then there's our precious Lake Michigan, which we all love to swim and, for lack of a better phrase, beach out on. 

The spill originally was spilled into Talmadge Creek, but led to the Kalamazoo River. If you think saying the spill spilled sounds redundant, leave me a comment on how YOU would phrase it, wise guy.

And speaking of redundant, the EPA administrator is saying "this is serious!" She likely said it without the exclamation mark, but I wouldn't know.

Obviously, one million gallons of oil spilling into a local waterway is serious. Obviously, ONE THOUSAND gallons spilling into a local waterway is serious. Obviously, one million gallons of oil spilling into a local waterway leading to the lake we and other states know, love, enjoy, etc, is serious! This is serious!!!

This is being called the worst midwest oil spill ever to occur. But, don't take my word for it. Ask the Canada geese covered in oil.

The oil spill is no laughing matter....
