Add to that the helplessness of feeling that for now, there aren't a lot of practical alternatives for consumers.<br /><br />I love all the babies you caught!! What you do with the kids is amazing, I'm sure getting them involved at this level will help them to understand what's at stake when they become adults in a few year's time.<br /><br />Great post FC!LaDivaCucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000430029590301972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-58341222351150509842010-05-14T22:15:53.756-05:002010-05-14T22:15:53.756-05:00JoJo,

I've only shared a bit so far.<br /><br /><br />3C,<br />Thanks. It's all ours and affects each one of us.<br /><br />Tammy,<br />Yeah, I wasn't really letting those guys off the hook, just making the point that we share in this need for oil. And yes, you would think that better response plans and EQUIPMENT would be ready.<br /><br /><br />Thanks Marge,<br />We do.<br /><br />FG,<br />It's ab fab for a marine life lover here. Hope it stays that way!<br /><br /><br />Robert,<br />REALLY upsetting! Frustrating too.<br /><br /><br />Anon,<br />It could be, it's just not like any I usually pull up. They tend to be more of the spider crab build and this one is so tiny, clean, and triangular.<br /><br /><br />Deb,<br />Arctic sub ice drilling could commence very soon. Imagine this spill beneath ice.<br /><br /><br /><br />Dave,<br />Thank PG for Dawn! What a mess. Hey when are you building.<br /><br /><br />Dani,<br />I saw more today, but I know what you mean. <br /><br /><br />Mark,<br />Ugh. Yes, the estimate of the size and volume keeps rising. <br /><br /><br />Idybug,<br />Thanks! <br /><br />Kathy,<br />Thanks. I just wanted to show some of what was at stake. <br /><br /><br />Captain Joe,<br />Welcome to Pure Florida!<br />That crab is a mystery to us both. I've been too busy to dig much, but will keep looking.<br />Thanks for the MOFRO tip!!! I just ordered Blackwater from Amazon two minutes ago. <br /><br /><br />Miz S,<br />I'm sure his boycott really hurt Exxon.

A member of my extended family said to me proudly the other day that he never bought gas from Exxon after the EV spill, and now he would never buy gas from BP.

In three weeks only a third as much oil as EV spilled has flowed out into the Gulf. So if they can't cap it, at this rate in a month and a half it will be as big as EV. And they don't really even know how much oil is coming out.
