We are always told not to worry about oil pipelines. The petroleum companies love to announce that with today’s technology there will NEVER be a leak or pipe break.

After all, the California Brown Gaspumphead is a bird that thrives on gobbling up crude oil. So relax do-gooders, all is copacetic. The stuff will be cleared in a few hours. Here’s an illustration of a Gaspumphead I recently did for the Audobon Society.
