PEOPLE & PLACES: CABEL AND MORDICAI
with Shhwana and Sandra
Boy oh boy summer’s here. As we left church on Sunday, Pastor Blaine spent a few minutes with Shwana and I. We sat under the old oak tree and smoked us a cigar with our favourite preacher while we talked about the hot spell. “Girls,” declared the pastor, “It’s as hot as balls out here right now! What are y’all going to do with the rest of your Sunday?”
Good Question! It being too hot for anything else, we jumped up in the town car, cranked up the air and took us a ride out to Robert Station.
Well folks, we were blessed to bump in to some of those fine people from BP who are doing all that good work trying to clean up our dirty old gulf. Who would think that little old Robert would find itself home to some of the best minds in the oil industry? So we sat down and got the skinny from two of BP’s expert clean up guys, Cabel and Mordicai from the Houston office.
Mordicai wasn’t talking so good on account of some pesky mouth burns he caught from doing a taste test on a barrel of sweet Louisiana crude, so Cabel filled us in on the details.
“Well girls,” he said, “it’s as plain as the nose on those pretty faces of yours. Without that oil y’all wouldn’t be driving out here to talk to us about the oil you see? So it’s all part of God’s plan.”
“Some of folks might be spreading vicious lies about our company, but the truth of it is we’ve spent more on cleaning up the Gulf in the last month than most companies spend in a lifetime, and that’s the honest truth. Y’all need to remember that nature is all about balance, so with less of those critters out there, they aint going to be as much marine doo-doo floating around. By the time we get through with that gulf of yours, why you won’t even recognize it!”
My stars! We were so pleased we got the chance to visit with those boys and hear the real story behind BP’s super clean up plans. Unless you never had an accident, you got no right to be casting stones, nosirr, and I had 2 accidents on the drive home, I should never had drunk that second sweet tea.
See y’all round the Parish & God bless
