Thursday Morning In Texas Thinking About Going Swimming With Ethyl Benzene, Methyl Pentane and Zylene In The Water

It is 39 degrees out there this 3rd Thursday of the last month of 2010. Looking out my window this morning, with no wind blowing, the pool looks inviting. I think I'll accept the invitation.

We got well into the 70s yesterday, maybe even into the low 80s. I'm sure that had a warming effect on outdoor water.

This morning Texas Sharon had a disturbing blurb about a Flower Mound girl in who's blood Barnett Shale Natural Gas well fracturing chemicals have been found.

The chemicals found in the teenager's blood were Ethyl Benzene, Methyl Pentane and Zylene.

Did the girl get the poison from drinking water or breathing air. Or both.

Are we all doomed?

Pretty much. Unless we fight like hell to protect ourselves. Or move far away from this gas drilling hell.
