Coming out in the midst of the night, is a glowing red of workers on Pensacola Beach cleaning up the day’s landing of oil on the once sugar white sand. Arriving on scene with supplied busses, workers could be seen all through the night up to the early morning, in groups and in-line, bagging oil that had washed in to litter and stain the beach. Workers were seen working around-the-clock, day and night trying keep up with the battle between the arriving oil and the arriving tourists.

BP crews were instructed to turn to cleanup efforts at night, according to an update from Tallahassee, and in Escambia County, close to the Mississippi border, night-time sweeps were scheduled for Thursday on Pensacola Beach and Peridido.

The sweltering summer sun melts tar balls, making them harder to collect. And daytime labor is taking its toll on specially trained workers in plastic jumpsuits and gloves.

Nearby, a Fort Walton Beach family of five likewise defied warnings to leave the oil pollution to trained workers, with father James Williams, 32, declaring, "Until it gets worse we'll keep coming back."[/qote] His daughter scooped up tar balls with a pink plastic shovel and put them in a plastic bag.
