One last image -- this is what I see as I go to bed at night -- oil wells burning -- 8 years later, they still burn. I don't know why this is and whether it is wasteful. On some nights, the smell comes through the doors and windows into the room while you try to sleep. It's thick, tar smell, almost like when you drive by fresh asphalt that is being rolled.
But, it's quite a sight when you first get here and is a constant reminder of one of the underlying reasons that we're here. Draw your own conclusions...
