The oil is still here!

Just so we don't allow our minds to forget, just because the media has, here is a quoit from a scientist studying the on going effects of BP's disaster.

"The researchers sometimes needed respirators and protective suits, especially near the site of the blowout, Joye said. Natural seeps of oil and gas in the Gulf of Mexico emit about 1,000 barrels a day for the whole body of water, but the amount in the plume she investigated was far beyond that.
"The gas concentrations are outrageously high," Joye told the NSF. "We have measured concentrations up to 100,000 times what we typically see in the Gulf of Mexico."

I now have my own computer so hope to be posting regularly. Remember to watch out for the "storm" around the 3rd week of this month. I would advise backing up everything you have electronic.
Blue sky, Jim
