It's actually quite stunning. Map centered on Toronto. http://www.ifitwasmyhome.com/#loc=To...0630654604&z=8 Map Centered on Calgary. http://www.ifitwasmyhome.com/#loc=Ro...9&y=51.001&z=7 Map centered on Vancouver. http://www.ifitwasmyhome.com/#loc=Va...=49.248523&z=7 No-one noticed the difference. |

I like the oil drum. It's a great website - lots of knowledge presented in a way that oil lay people (like me) can understand.

Hah, I was tempted to post earlier than if one centred in on Toronto it would be a general improvement on the place but I thought that a bit tasteless. Glad to see you know no boundaries.;)

St. John's, NL. http://www.ifitwasmyhome.com/#loc=Ha...=44.648881&z=7 But it makes more of an impact on Halifax and Nova Scotia. :blink::eek: Halifax, NS. http://www.ifitwasmyhome.com/?loc=Ha...=44.648881&z=7 |

What about Wales? That's the unit normally used for the measurement of areas affected by environmental destruction.

Re: The Oil Spill
Just been watching CBC my feelings on the spill are thus:
Maybe if these hypocrit Americans are so concerned about oil spills now they will use less and start making an effort to take part in slowing the destruction of the world. I don't think so.................. BP= Big Polluter. I say a case of pot and kettle or being in bed with the devil....... |
