5. Oil Math

38 days since the explosion
19,000 barrels per day leaking
40 gallons per barrel

38 x 19,000 x 40 = 28,880,000 gallons of oil into the gulf + or - gallons ?????

:cry:

The Exxon Valdez was about 10,000,000 gallon

7. Hi Botany, hugs

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :hug:

8. Three Exxon Valdezes in coastal marsh and wetlands.

What an incredibly catastrophic event.

[Botany]

27. From Texas to the Dry Tortugas (Key Island Chain FL) .... oil has shown up

The marshes, backwaters, brackish waters, estuaries, wetlands, and tidal zones are the
nurseries for so much life in the gulf. This sad beyond all measure.

[RevCheesehead]

23. If it weren't such a serious topic, I'd offer a pun,

like "that's pretty slick math." But it isn't, so I won't.

:hug: Love ya, Cuddles.

[bleever]

9. Is there another, larger leak 5 miles away?

:scared:

[ralps]

11. Oh dear!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :scared:

[SeattleGirl]

14. I heard about that today.

What I would like to know is this: did the oil rig explosion cause those other leaks too?

[RevCheesehead]

24. Oh, sweet Jesus...

save us from ourselves! :cry:

[RevCheesehead]

10. Hi ralps! Hi everyone!

Andy says "live long and prosper."
:hi:

And Oreo and Keith say hi, too. :)

[SeattleGirl]

12. Hi Rev!

Howdy to you and Andy!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

15. He's working graveyard tonight.

I was talking to him on the phone, and asked if he had a message for y'all. :)

:hi: How ya doin', SG?

[SeattleGirl]

16. Not bad.

Just wish this oil gusher could get plugged up fast!

[RevCheesehead]

18. Amen to that!

I'm glad you're here with us. It makes life a little more bearable. :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

19. .....

:hug:

[ralps]

13. Hi RevCheesehead, Crook & I are doing good & Hi to Oreo, & lil' Keith! How are you all doing? &

How did Andy like his introduction to Countdown? :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

17. He loved it!

He's watched it before, and enjoys it; but he's usually working 2nd shift. He loved the "Miss Bendy-Straw" thing. :)

We're good, and Oreo and Keith say "meow" to Crook.

[ralps]

20. IMO Tony Hayward & the Board of BP need to be charged w/ Ecoterrorism & Manslaughter!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :grr:

[SeattleGirl]

22. I agree.

All this stuff I'm hearing about the shortcuts and such, just to save money, just make me ill.

[SeattleGirl]

25. "You have to hit them where their heart would be, if they had

a heart."

Well said, sir.

[SeattleGirl]

28. OT but very cool: House Committee just voted to repeal DADT.

[RevCheesehead]

29. A small, but very important first step.

Andy told me that in the marines, the actual # of gays and lesbians is closer to 40-50%. That shocked me.

[SeattleGirl]

31. That's higher than I thought the number was.

I just want to see the damned thing replealed asap.

I think it's mostly the old farts in the military (and the Republicans, of course) who are against it.

They need to realize that the world marches on, with or without them.

[ralps]

30. Today's worst person in the world is Former Rep Mark Souter!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl:
