I can see the chemcal cloude from my office window. It's actually quite pretty.

Which means if it's anything like a pretty woman it's deadly as hell.

There's more chemicals there than the rest of the world. This happens every week.

It's all those black eye'd peas everyone has been eating.

At least that's what it feels like when I eat them, C4 going off in my belly. And the end result could definitely be classified as a chemical spill....

Nah, someone probably put out some bait for rats and the birds got into it. Some other city hired a company for pest control and birds got into the feed and a whole bunch fell out of the sky dead right before a big event in the town. (happened a few months back).

Yeah my window faces towards the chem spill in Sugarland - and it was a cool cloud, too bad today was a day I brought my laptop to work instead of my camera. Yikes.
