California math

According to the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, which was notified of the accident on Wednesday, about 20% of the 97,112 gallons spilled were contained.

Estimates showed anywhere between 46,000 and 96,000 gallons reached the Russian River.

Sometimes I log onto FR and the news is so tragic that I question everything.

Red wine doesn’t pair with white fish but Justin Wilson said use whatever wine you want, the fish isn’t going to know anyway.

Compound California math with journalist math, and we have utter excrement.

Check out the statement in this blurb where it says the spill went into a sanitary sewer. The next sentence says the spill went into a drainage ditch then ending up in the Russian River. So which is it, you derps?

When it comes to math, units and mechanical systems, most journalists know less than my Cairn terrier.

Could be a fun tubing trip. All you need is a straw. Better bring your own though.
